Speaking as a mathematician and computer professional, who has done a fair amount of statistical analysis (and written computer programs to do it), I have to say that most of the statistics cited in these discussions are nearly meaningless, and are useless for guiding policy decisions. The ways people are using them are incompetent at best, and sometimes lapse into tergiversation.
Jon, well said and rather provocative. I am disappointed but not surprised that there has been no response on the list to this. I wonder if the reason is that many of the people on the list who have the detailed knowledge of stats necessary to rebut have too much invested in the debate to recognize that it is bogus, and so don't want to touch the points you raise.
Another reason for the overwhelming non-response may be that if one is promoting non-solutions, then one may be morally responsible (directly or indirectly) for the lives sacrificed on the altars of the non-solutions.
I should extend my knowledge of stats from my college intro course many years ago. Can you point me to a decent intro to stats on the net?
Thanks
