Quotes

"Numerical quantities focus on expected values, graphical summaries on unexpected values."; "Far better an approximate answer to the right question, than the exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise."; "An approximate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than an exact answer to an approximate problem."
