"I consider myself analytically-minded, and statistics still gives me a headache" "... blah blah etc." I suspect you do yourself a disservice. I think you instinctively know how to interpret and analyse discussions that involve statistics. That will include seriously complex and probably abstruse (to the layman) discourse. You are probably not a bleeding edge exponent and probably not in the habit of dropping papers on the world. However, I think you might be able to mess around with equations involving mu 'n' sigma (int al) without breaking a sweat.
