I actually am well founded in statistics, since my B.S., M.S. and PhD
are in the subject. I guess I should have taken you as n-1 (chance),
but I was making a legitimate query, not a request for buffoonery nor an
f stat, t, or chi square comparison. My apologies, as I was ready to
load the shillelagh module for my tongue, and bludgeon you soundly.
