The Analysis Of Variance Is Not A

Faith Does Not Mean Credulity...

Although No Explanation Can Be Expected To Be Satisfactory, It Remains A Possibility Among Others That Mendel Was Deceived By Some Assistant Who Knew Too Well What Was Expected. This Possibility Is Supported By Independent Evidence That The Data Of Most, If Not All, Of The Experiments Have Been Falsified So As To Agree Closely With Mendel's Expectations.

[coining Phrase "null Hypothesis"] In Relation To Any Experiment We May Speak Of This Hypothesis As The "null Hypothesis," And It Should Be Noted That The Null Hypothesis Is Never Proved Or Established, But Is Possibly Disproved, In The Course Of Experimentation. Every Experiment May Be Said To Exist Only In Order To Give The Facts A Chance Of Disproving The Null Hypothesis.

The Analysis Of Variance Is Not A Mathematical Theorem, But Rather A Convenient Method Of Arranging The Arithmetic.

It Was Darwin's Chief Contribution, Not Only To Biology But To The Whole Of Natural Science, To Have Brought To Light A Process By Which Contingencies A Priori Improbable, Are Given, In The Process Of Time, An Increasing Probability, Until It Is Their Non-occurrence Rather Than Their Occurrence Which Becomes Highly Improbable.
