I took a module on statistics in my Open University maths degree 40-odd years ago. I was bemused. They seemed to say that the subject was founded on two basic principles; then they proceeded to define each of them in terms of the other. I'm still waiting for the entire edifice to come crashing down around our ears. :) -- Regards, Peter.
