Glen_who_can_be_such_a_rhetor - I had the pleasure (no scare quotes) of working with a statistician at LANL who was a trained "rhetoritician"... I don't think I would want to imply anything distasteful about him or his work... it was often obscure to me but a powerful theme in the larger theme of "lies, damn lies, and statistics". He was *much* more responsible (or more explicitely?) than his peers in the persuasive use of his work-product.
