…THE DRYER ... THE BETTER ...

“…no study is less alluring or more dry and tedious than statistics…


…unless the mind and imagination are set to work”
 
William Playfair,
The Commercial and Political Atlas (1801)

 
“You complain that your report would be dry [without the graphics]…
…THE DRYER ... THE BETTER ...

Statistics should be the dryest of all reading


I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticiansThe ability to take data - to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it is going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades…because now we really do have essentially free and ubiquitous data. ”
(Hal Varian)
