but yeah, the education system is becoming clearer to me now.
what a hoax or scam or sham it is.
would you like to hear about how nz students are taught that they need to 'clean their data'?
that's what we call it. we teach it. explicitly. that you start by cleaning your data. that is to say you start by removing the data points that you don't like. perhaps repeating things over and over until you find the data point that you do like.
there isn't a comprehension of the difference between using statistics as a tool to learn about the world and exploiting the tool for some perceived personal advantage.
all over.
people around here really don't seem to get that.
