My counsin is a statistician and he regularly draws wild postulations from
which he deduces unwarrented assumptions which lead to his foregone

which substantiate these bizarre prejudices. He is what many folks today

he arrives to that distinguishing point at which time he knows nothing
about anything. Fine profession, statistician.
