Modern Statisticians Are Familiar With The Notion That Any Finite Body Of Data Contains Only A Limited Amount Of Information On Any Point Under Examination; That This Limit Is Set By The Nature Of The Data Themselves, And Cannot Be Increased By Any Amount Of Ingenuity Expended In Their Statistical Examination: That The Statistician's Task, In Fact, Is Limited To The Extraction Of The Whole Of The Available Information On Any Particular Issue.

Natural Selection Is A Mechanism For Generating An Exceedingly High Degree Of Improbability.

The Statistician Cannot Excuse Himself From The Duty Of Getting His Head Clear On The Principles Of Scientific Inference, But Equally No Other Thinking Man Can Avoid A Like Obligation.

We Can Set No Limit To Human Potentialities; All That Is Best In Man Can Be Bettered; It Is Not A Question Of Producing A Highly Efficient Machine, ... But Of Quickening All The Distinctly Human Features, All That Is Best In Man, All The Different Qualities, Some Obvious, Some Infinitely Subtle, Which We Recognize As Humanly Excellent.
