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.
