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.
