"I have grown increasingly suspicious of the use of
 statistical analysis to tease meaning from seemingly chaotic data."

Allen, one of the last years that I worked in research we had plots that 
were by far the worst plots I have ever been involved with.   The plots 
should have been plowed down.  My boss had them harvested and by the time he 
was through with the statistics the plots looked like they were near 
perfect.  The data was published, even though it was totally worthless.
