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.

The decision is the most obvious indicator of intention.
Note: a practical measuring stick for politician's behavior.

I have not had a meeting with (TOS) Terms Of Service. Perhaps someday TOS will send me a message not knowing that the TOS has to meet with my TOU Terms Of Use.
Should TOS be dissatisfied with TOU, we shall be separated forever for a lack of mutually agreed understanding of the concept of freedom.
