This is funny -- you've abandoned the vicarious claim to David's
statistical expertise and are now attempting to debate statistics with
an internationally published statistician on the basis of no argument
and the notion that you might have been able to get a phd in an
unspecified subject if you hadn't been such a rebellious wargamer.

So - what was insignificant about the sample Gregory? I have access to
the electronic archives of all the main international statistics
journals. What sort of sample are you looking for?

Let's start at the extreme and work down:

Gregory - if there is no record of any IDA paper _ever_ being published
in one of the top twenty international statistics journals (as ranked by
the international BIDS grading scheme) would you concede that not
knowing what IDA stood for would not mean that I didn't learn much on my
phd? Just establishing some boundaries here. :)
