Sae,
I'm talking about statistics:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics
My statement was a little broad and therefore somewhat inaccurate because, yes, one apple IS always one apple but the A=A principle is too inclusive and doesn't account for the sources of variation such as, time, temperature, device used to measure, person using device.
I saw a video once where this math genius was preaching about how math should progress from algebra into statistics instead of calculus because stats is a more useful discipline than calculus and I agree with him. If you can grasp the concepts in the wiki it would do wonders for your perception of reality as it did mine. I also backed up my understanding with years of practice in the lab in which I work. I've learned that reality isn't as solid as I once thought. I still think there is an objective reality but it is more like a marshmallow than it is like a rock.
