packsaddle 753 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Great saying. I've heard this from statisticians often. I checked for the quote a long time ago and discovered that although Reader's Digest attributed it to Lang, on further review no one has found the actual origin of the quote. But I'm sure that Lang would be happy to take credit for such a great one. He's as good as anyone for it. Link to post Share on other sites
