<My local impression is they are fairly smart doods, maybe we are even as smart as them.

Anyway statistics, math, and such are all in this whiteboys preferred domain. I prefer a 3D graph if possible, two dimensions are beneath my dignity. Speaking of which, I didn't see any "Y" scale on that graph.>

PB, if maths is your bag and statistics your swag, then you know that your 'local impression' isn't statistically significant. If you think it is, then that makes you a standard deviant.

And who do you mean by "we"?
