Fantastic piece. I love the systematic approach to refine my intuitions. Not just how to reason about statistics, but how to effectively second guess myself. And the visualisations really help to reflect on that.

I thought the visuals we're too impressive, turns out it's written by Mike Bostock of d3.js and bl.ocks.org/mbostock fame. His article "Visualizing Algorithms"[0] is a must read.
