Rick Froman asked about a student question "How will understanding statistics really help me to contribute to my satisfaction with and success in life? as stated on page 11 in sats [sic] and the 'real world'."
I have some ideas, of course, but I thought it would be really impressive to get the thoughts of a number of you and compile it into a mega-response (with appropriate citations). I just tell my students that a good statistics course is the single most important introduction to logic that they will ever have. It's too bad that fact often gets lost amid the formulas and associated student angst. They fail to see the (logical) forest for the (mathematical) trees.
