There is no point wasting good counter arguments on mindless drivel - I
was merely pointing out that I'm qualified to recognise mindless drivel
when this particular subject is being addressed. I suppose you like to
hear stats-mumbo jumbo from somebody who's just pulling it out of the
air and then waste time setting them right and endure the ensuing back
and forth as if it were all just a matter of opinion?

The rest of that reply was in exactly the same vein as the part that
invited me to dismiss 'statistical theory' on the grounds he didn't
understand sampling theory.
