Ironic, since my career (1962-2000) was programming
(applications and systems) on mainframe computers.
Of course during at least half of that period I was using
desktop computers to do the mainframe work.

I had only one 3-hour statistics course, for one quarter,
and all I remember is standard deviation, which everybody
knows. But I still have the book 'Statistics - An Introduction'
by D.A.S. Fraser (1958), and my notes.

Actually, I'm thinking like someone who has such a profound
distrust for liberals that I want to fight whatever they say and
do, to such an extent that I flail around, irrationally grasping
at anything available with which to challenge them, whether
the challenge holds up for longer than five minutes or not.
If we were discussing some other science like, say,
astronomy, or engineering wonders like the unmanned
space program, I think you would find the way I think quite
acceptable, being free from political aversions.
