Perhaps you should proofread your snark before posting, friend. I never feel like a god of statistics. My complaint here wasn't even about statistics. It's not even a specialty of mine. Note my complaint was about words. The meaning and usage of words, particularly the impressions and messages they convey to people--the ideas, beliefs, as well as the certainties they establish and invoke when spoken, written, heard, and read--on the other hand, most certainly is something I care very much about. There are many areas outside a probabilistically determined statistical model in which properly understanding, specifying, and communicating correlation and causality are useful and important.
