chauvinism and more concentration on statistics, please.***
My response
If you know as much Statistics as you show to know History . . . OK,
ypu are a perfect ignorant. Please, more respect towards your
forefathers: since Charlemagne (V Century) to the present day almost
all cultural important geniuses are coming from France.
Bacon?
Newton?
Leibnitz?
Einstein?
Locke?
Heisenberg?
Helmholtz?
Kolmogorov?
Humboldt?
Neyman?
Pearson?
Fisher?
Ito?
Fermi?
von Neumann?
Are you implying that mathematicians and scientists are not cultural
geniuses?
Not to know
*La Langue Française* avoids you not to read in the original
Voltaire, Balzac, Zola, Sartre, Camus . . . . LESS THAN ONE is your
cultural status.
C'est la vie. Only writers of fiction can be "cultural geniuses"?
Your command of English (not to mention statistics) leaves a bit to be
desired. Tomsky is one of the few who can parse your utterances.
