Yep, agree 100%. I recall playing next to a "structural engineer" one evening who complained mightily about my impact on the flow. Here is a man who uses statistics every day of his professional life, walking through the door was like putting on a dunce cap.

I recall going to a conference many years ago and seeing a "statistical baccarat analyzer" like the one I created being sold by a top company. I knew it was a triviality, but they were selling it for a boatload. Likewise, the apps in the Android store that do this are either malicious or expensive. And during my last chat someone said that a spreadsheet was out there that did this stuff, it's price was $1500. It should be free. Truth should not be hard to get. Whether people know what it means is not relevant, what is important is that it is available.
