Definitely a crock understanding of statistics. Also: - to assert that the attacks originate in the target country seems bizarre! - the differences between countries may not even be statistically significant.
I saw a wonderful page from a "bad science" group (may have been called the anti-Nobel prize). The key thing I remember was from a section they had on encouraging school children to critically examine reports of scientific studies, it was based on the question: "Can you think of one reason, other than the researcher's conclusion, that would have resulted in the same observed outcome?" Applying that idea to this could give a long list! On 25/05/07, lyndon sutherland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Must be a slow news day, it also seems like a crock to assert the high number of NZ hackers, solely form the number of alleged hacks. Cheers L
