The Statistics article needs to shoot itself.

In the foot, so that it does not die instantly but rather bleeds out slowly.

at least it's not X pages of blank shit. you can just look at it, jot down a not per page, and move on. then conveniently use it in your essay. it's ok....

"conveniently use it"

Problem . . . they said that such and such diagrams proved a correlation between weather and wheat prices . . . but then they didn't . . . it was just my imagination. I really had to manipulate it to make it work for me.

I'm coming to terms by making a fifth of my essay all about how the statistical approach sucks, partly because some motherfuckers really manipulate it to make it work for them.

it's annoying. yeah, um, it's weird. i vaguely remember it KINDOF correlating, like there would be bad weather, then the next year crops might suck

or it would be dumb like there would be bad weather, and then the next year the wages went down, or something. i vaguely remember there being a graph about the distance grain travelled or seomthing really obscure likee that...

write away, my poor ap euro student! write like the wind!
