Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show through three major examples from survival analysis, extreme value theory, and errors in variables that when it comes to statistical analysis, famous probabilistic results may lead to conceptual problems. As a consequence, we propose new approaches which may be of independent interest also in a probabilistic context.
