Data

Anecdote

I spent several hours this week looking for (and finding) patterns in the data of one of my PhD students.

As a result of this exercise I now have a fuller appreciation of why scientists, whether physical or social, always want more data. If you have enough, you can find pretty well whatever you want to find in it.

Sadly, my student has more scruples than I do, so won't be using my "findings" in her thesis.
