Far too often the > discussion devolves... +1 It sounds like BQ means to review the existing data, and analyze it statistically. I'm all for that, but I'd like to see a sidebar in the article on "meaningful" statistics for those of us who were only good at the "draw pictures of the data" portion of the single simple college Stat class we took. This discussion could be tabled until after the article is published, and then re-opened on the Bicycle Quarterly Readers' group (http:// groups.google.com/group/bqrr).
