One of my senior colleagues told me, when I was a youngster in this profession, rather proudly, that statisticians were people who liked figures but didn't have the personality skills to become accountants.
Unul dintre colegii mei seniori mi-a spus, când eram un novice în această profesie, oarecum mândru, că statisticienii sunt oameni cărora le plac cifrele dar care nu au trăsăturile de personalitate potrivite pentru a ajunge contabili.
