I would love to know what reason I have given you to attribute ulterior motives to me. I will not, however, hold my breath.
Arcanus,
It is the forum in which you are posting and the fact that you are a theist that leads me to think that you want more than just a rousing conversation about the null hypothesis. If this were a statistics forum then I would not smell agenda.
Perhaps I was unnecessarily provocative in my post but it was a slow day on the forums and I was bored. I meant what I said; I really was waiting for a point to emerge beyond just deffinition of a statistics term.
Oh, well, fine! Be that way! Take your toys and go home if you don't want to play anymore!
Ok, I guess I heard hoofbeats and thought Zebras when I should have thought Horsies.
