Stupidities
When I arrived at home after school today, I did my usual internet survey to check out for any interesting news. I just found out that a psychologist has proven that beautiful people in a couple will have more girls than "bad looking" couples. Here's the article (in french).
Right over the link of this 56%-of-good-looking-couples-have-girls crappy article were the results of another research (probably made by the same damn psychologist, lol) demonstrating that vegetarians have a higher IQ than omnivore people (still in french, sorry).
What the hell?
Did I say I hate statistics? You can say whatever you want with statistics as long as you don't present the terms of the research (which seems to be the case in both articles I read).
That's why I'm in physics : I don't have to bother with statistical interpretations. Only with the laws of physics, fundamental and "ever-applying" laws. Even if it's a science of approximations.
