RequestsFrom: Ross Bettinger Ross.Bettinger@sas.comDate: Thu, 3 May 2001 12:57:41 -0400 Subject: Help finding data collection-related quotation I remember reading a quotation from some British statistician dating to the days of the Raj in which he deplored the fact that statistics were computed to N places of exactitude but "were collected by the village headman who put down whatever he damn well pleased." If you know the source of the quotation or can suggest a place to look, please email to editor
