| long ago @wbialek pointed out to me the irony of his 2 most infamous quotes | |
| - 1) "If your result needs a statistician then you should design a better experiment." and | |
| - 2) "All science is either physics or stamp collecting." | |
| is that, | |
| - in the first case, his field of particle physics ended up | |
| becoming far and away the most statistics-dependent of any subfield in physics, and | |
| - in the second case, that his Nobel prize ended up being in chemistry not physics |
