Dear Detlew,

I’m sick of some statisticians’ obsession with mathematical proofs.
The three-body problem in physics can’t be solved analytically. However, man landed on the moon and the New Horizons space probe reached Pluto. Same goes with the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics. Aircraft are designed by the finite element method (fortunately resulting in a much, much lower risk* than 0.05). If statisticians are so worried about numeric methods they should stop traveling – except by foot.

Biostatistician. One who has neither the intellect for mathematics
nor the commitment for medicine
but likes to dabble in both.
