I understand monkey's frustration that many people don't understand statistics. It's good to talk with other people with a basic understanding of sampling, bias and significance testing. I was just letting him know that if you uses technical jargon to explain his points formally, I will understand.

Is there some "basic shit" about statistics that you think I don't understand?

I'd be interested if you could articulate what.
