Bill James on NPR
Great stuff.
JAMES: Right. That’s right. That - and there are a lot of people who don’t understand how statistics work and can’t think along those lines and consequently tend to perforce, reject whatever conclusions come out of that line of thinking, and there’s really nothing you can do about that. You can, you know, argue to those people for generations, but the only way you could ever possibly convince them would be to reeducate them, which, you know, you don’t have time to do that. So yeah, it’s a waste of time to argue with those people.
I have a little saying along those lines:
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, learn. The rest, we ignore.
