I learned the most from statistics in college. It became the foundation of my thinking.Man is programed for pattern recognition, not probability.It is hard for us to learn probability, but I have dealt with it my whole life academically and as a high stakes poker player. And once learned put reality in a whole different light.

Every time I see you misuse statistics to make your point, I laugh at your claims of statistical authority, especially when you mock others.

If you were the authority on statistics that you claim, you won't need to ask how I know that you are misusing them.

And if you had any understanding of logic, you would know that using misleading statistics as an appeal to authority, isn't a valid form of logic.

And if you knew anything about science, you would know that one exception is enough to disprove a theory. And with AGW, there are hundreds, if not thousands of exceptions.

I would LOVE to sit down at a poker table with you.
