Jan 21, 2022 at 19:31 comment added Tal Galili I agree the intent is not statistical. But I find it to be rather tied to our field.
Jan 21, 2022 at 19:05 comment added Galen I like this one a lot: "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer." - Richard Feynman
Jul 23, 2019 at 8:58 comment added Glen_b As far as I can see the intent of the quote is not statistical either.

Nov 3, 2012 at 6:59 comment added Glen_b Does Feynman qualify as a statistician?
Jan 30, 2011 at 10:48 comment added probabilityislogic If I was a betting man I'd say Richard Feynman was an agnostic
