> It puts you in the company of a lot of highly educated doctors. Too bad for them, because it's really the most basic stuff about statistical inference, something that every professor tells on the first lecture, classic example, something like Monty Hall problem or birthday paradox. Not that it is surprising, because very few people know something properly at all, be they PhD or butchers… But no more comforting, really.
