Fairly Large Print Is A Real Antidote

The So-called Co-efficient Of Heritability, Which I Regard As One Of Those Unfortunate Short-cuts, Which Have Often Emerged In Biometry For Lack Of A More Thorough Analysis Of The Data.

The More Highly Adapted An Organism Becomes, The Less Adaptable It Is To Any New Change.

No Isolated Experiment, However Significant In Itself, Can Suffice For The Experimental Demonstration Of Any Natural Phenomenon; For The "one Chance In A Million" Will Undoubtedly Occur, With No Less And No More Than Its Appropriate Frequency, However Surprised We May Be That It Should Occur To Us.

If One In Twenty Does Not Seem High Enough Odds, We May, If We Prefer It, Draw The Line At One In Fifty (the 2 Per Cent. Point), Or One In A Hundred (the 1 Per Cent. Point). Personally, The Writer Prefers To Set A Low Standard Of Significance At The 5 Per Cent. Point, And Ignore Entirely All Results Which Fail To Reach This Level. A Scientific Fact Should Be Regarded As Experimentally Established Only If A Properly Designed Experiment Rarely Fails To Give This Level Of Significance.

To Consult The Statistician After An Experiment Is Finished Is Often Merely To Ask Him To Conduct A Post Mortem Examination. He Can Perhaps Say What The Experiment Died Of.
