En vis man sa en gång i tiden...

"While the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will be up to, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician."

och en annan lika vis man sa...

"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts - for support rather than for illumination"
