“Statistics made easy is code for statistics done wrong.”

 “Statistics made easy is code for statistics done wrong.”  Greenland

 Most often statistics teaching by non-statisticians turns out to be simplified nonsense; beautiful and profound statistical concepts and interpretations downgraded to absurdities
