I didn't write that, but anyway: If you read it as "A statistical center
of *opinion* by definition is not necessarily correct (i.e. does not
necessarily reflect the *facts* correctly)", then it makes a lot of sense.

Right up there with "There are absolutely no absolutes".


I wrote this one (actually, I wrote it somewhat differently). Only a
very small and very simple world can be coherent. As soon as you accept
the the world is a little more complex, you'll have to live with
incoherency. I tell you this as a physicist.

Too many people confound simplicity with simplification.
