Statistics

The art of create something out of meaningless lists of numbers. The art of confusing people with way too many hypothesis and probabilities. The art of naming same things differently so each book looks different than others while talking about the same thing. Who cares that Microsoft Excel doesn't generate a truly random number after 30,000 iterations?! Not an engineer, I must say. Those crazy hardcore statistican, may be. Why, why on earth, should that course be taught by those people?
