> Ava, you could explain to me whether the normal distribution is a property of some or all populations, and why some have it and some don't. Height in humans seems to be a normal distribution. Stones on the ground does not. Is there some connection between the rise of biological psychiatry and the decline of the novel? Is there a seductive quality to the perception that one is or has been part of a criminal racket? And so on.
Dear Sig,
This is not 101. This is more like Homer's Odyssey 501.
And it could be a snare of sorts. En Garde!
I need more coffee to do mental gymnastics!
(Hope I don't strain anything.)I'll be back. : )
Ava
