No contradiction exists, if the events are correctly interpreted. - Richard von Mises

The main interest of physical statistics lies in fact not so much in the distribution of the phenomena in space, but rather in their succession in time.

Because certain elements of geometry have for a long time been included in the general course of education, every educated man is able to distinguish between the practical task of the land surveyor and the theoretical investigation of the geometer. The corresponding distinction between the theory of probability and statistics has yet to be recognized.

Starting from a logically clear concept of probability, based on experience, using arguments which are usually called statistical, we can discover truth in wide domains of human interest.
