Oh, beautiful! I'm totally ganking that!
I'm a quality consultant in real life, but I approach it totally philosophically; this includes drawing wisdom from good statistical analysis, but many of the people I work with are just plain awful at statistical reasoning. When I try to explain why my math is right, they get skeptical as soon as I deviate from their desired conclusions. Argh. Misology is everywhere!
