Cory Doctorow on Probability Theory

Thank you Patricia, I knew there was a reason why I hated statistics with a passion...
Try being a weather forecaster; now that's a trial for statisticians...

Huh? That article isn't a rant against statistics, but against people that don't understand the statistics of infrequent events. If anything, it's a plea for more statistics education.

Sorry, I hadn't realised I'd ranted against statistics...I was just commenting on the article bringing to home why I hated the blooming stuff...
