We cannot know what we do not know. That is why, all the “scientists” working backward from the desired outcome, must rely on something called the “Finagle Factor” to always make their calculations and predictions come out right, or at least seem to be plausible.

Science, REAL science, cannot predict anything, cannot explain fully any phenomena, and is never settled. The scientific method is a process, not a conclusion.

My first old school statistics professor said day one, “Statistics never gives you an answer, at best it might give you another question.”

Is that said in any statistics class any more?
