+A humorous exchange between a peer in estimating and myself:
+
+> **Peer:** "Your research will one day cure estimator's brain,
+> a disease sweeping across \[our\] floor"
+>
+> **Me:** "if you ask me-I mean my friend-it's quite rare actually"
+>
+> **Peer:** "more data will be needed before a strong conclusion can be made"
+>
+> **Me:** "damn it's got you too"
+
+My response was meant to imply that,
+among those employed as estimators,
+knowledge of and application of scientific methods are rare.
+I wonder though if it would have been more apt
+to reply "you're in the clear" or something to that effect,
+implying that one with estimator brain
+would make decisions based on limited data.
