Yes, I'm sure that you are a "Scientific" legend in your own mind.

What is so entertaining to me, is your simple child like belief, that you, (perhaps by dint of superior "Scientficness"?), KNOWS the TRUTH!
Which is engraved in solid rock, and NOT open to question or doubt.

So, "legend", how come standard manufacturing practices calls 3 sigma points from center, in either direction, from the center of a standard Gaussian distribution, "ALWAYS"?

How come "legend"? It's 68% of the area, that leaves 32% (thats 16% at either end of the distribution), that is not "ALWAYS".

But "Science" says "ALWAYS" is 68 out of 100.

Gee willikers Bat-boy, infinity is not modeled accurately with just integers.

You really are a most entertaining Darwinian fundamentalist.

And you are a wonderful Creationist stereotype, right out of Central Casting.

Here's a hint: one does not need to "KNOW the TRUTH" to know what's not true. I don;t know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. But I can comfortably ignore claims that he was borne bodily into Heaven by a flight of neon angles singing Abba's greatest hits. Similarly, I do not need to know every last detail about evolution to know that appeals to superstition to explain a few holes in the data record is just silly.
