What is the difference between science and science using statistics?
This example may help understand the difference.
Science.
The sun will appear every morning. That is scientifically provable.
If a person balks about the possibility that it may not occur, or it doesn’t occur, it means there is either no sun or no earth and this question is moot. Until then it is scientific fact. After that there is no objects on which to test the hypothesis.
Statistics.
What is the probability the temperature will be exactly 85 degrees Fahrenheit for the three hours starting 12:00PM to 3PM on Saturday July 12, 2014. The answer is a probability of practically zero. It may or may not occur. No one can guarantee the event will happen.
Statistics used as science is an oxymoron. It is not possible.
Statistics used to analyze scientific results is possible.
Statistics to determine scientific results is not possible.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
