The Challenge to Statistics
-You can't say a group is crazy. Most likely the individuals
can be plotted on something like a Bell Curve. Thus Republicans are not crazy, as you aver. Some are,
some aren’t, most in the middle.
-Uh huh? All your surveys and wily questions lead us to the usual lump of suet floating in dishwater.
-If it’s clear science, it often doesn't grab headlines.
-How about women?
-An absurdly large group.
-I withdraw it. I know the answer and it's not their fault.
Each one's a changeling, exchanged at birth.
Bred to be totally impossible.
-Where are the original babies?
-Growing up on a Deathstar, ready to collide with Earth!
-Why is it that every discussion with you ends up
as nonsense?
-The norm.
