“In fact, by only taking a few observations, and selecting our numbers, we
can by the effect of accidental causes defend all possible theories. By the
aid of such numbers, whose truth in other respects cannot be contested, we
set our consciences perfectly at rest, and demonstrate nearly anything we
may wish. This it is which always inspires so great a distrust in respect to
special statistics, and which has done the greatest injury to science with
persons who only judge of things superficially.”
