If you don't know, there's no point explaining.

No, you have learnt about the missuse of statistics. As a science it's as valid as any other.

Would you also write this statement?

Did someone mention clinical testing?

Dont worry about it sweety, carry on baiting them, its fun to wind them up. Throw in a couple of indeffensible points and see who ends up ranting while you pop off for a chablis at lunch.

So what you're saying is that your "point of view" is as valid as all the great scientists who laid down the basics of statistical theory and practice. In other words, they were wrong and you're right and statistics is useless.

Wow! This is a real mathematical breakthrough. I think it's known as a paradigm shift. When are you going to collect the Nobel prize that is undoubtedly due to you?
