I agree completely. When I saw LuKreme's description of the problem, a series of trials generated by a computer algorithm, I actually though to myself "Wow, a situation were I can be confident that the standard assumptions apply". I probably should have been more explicit about that since such situations are rare. -- Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity. -Frank William Leahy, football coach (1908-1973) _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
