Abstract
To hypothesize is more enjoyable than to provide supporting evidence— the one a flash of insight, an exhilarating flight of the imagination, the other a painstaking gathering, interpretation and presentation of information.
“I have no faith in anything short of actural Measurement and the Rule of Three”, Charles Darwin
“General impressions are never to be trusted. Unfortunately when they are of long standing they became fixed rules of life,and assume a prescriptive right not to be quetioned. Consequently those who are not accustomed to original inquiry entertain a hatred and a horror of statistics.They cannot endure the idea of submitting their sacred impressions to cold-blooded verification”, Francis Galton
