Of course, you are right Jim. You can teach the details of
experimental statistics if you wish and do it right. The only
point that I was trying to make is that I do not believe that a
universe of three measurements will support statistical analysis
of any kind and that we are "selling the Brooklyn Bridge" if we
pretend that it can. WBN
