To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say

The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
