I realise the maths/latin title joke might be a wee bit subtle but hopefully it’ll ring some bells.

Data? We ain’t got no data. We don’t need no data! I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ data!
The above quote was from the movie Treasure of the IPCC-Era Cadre

I prefer the term ‘fundamental data extraction”
Homeopathic science (as practised (practiced) by homies).

I like your drawing style but you are far too generous to Lew’sky, He really is not that “good looking”. Whenever I see a photo of him, it makes me feel physically uncomfortable.
I think you are failing to capture the essence of the man with your cartoons.

YOU CAN’T RING ‘NOBEL’
Reminds me of the first joke I made up at junior school. A young roman meets a young girl – 1st words : ‘Sum sex’.
Time to go for negative sample sizes. That could bring about some interesting projections.
Josh,
Thanks for clothing them in purplish onesies to hide zero data cult tattoos.
Also, perhaps initiation into the zero data cult for summa cum laude candidates requires purification rites to cleanse their body and minds of data.
Finally. should not their feet be bare in front of their goddess of zero data?

Mann no doubt contemplates the future with equanimity, now that the Virginia gubernatorial election has denied Cuccinelli the office. Indeed, he has been quoted as calling the election a referendum on global warming. Presumably, the UVA email vault will not now be breached.
You’ve put in the knobs and the bells, all we need now is for someone to whistle……
I hadn’t noticed but I think the theory fits! That look! Whenever they get that look on their face they are either taking a poop or are thinking about another way to write about “nothing”, make it sound ominous, and get it published.
Thanks, Josh. You made my day!

Pamela Gray,
Your use of the word poop made me think the word pooh. Which made me think the following.
Josh made Lewandowsky and Mann look like a bumbling pair of purplish pooh bears. Winnie is not likely to be amused. Oh bother.

Excellent work as usual, Josh.
To sum up, that’s
Josh: +2
Lew/Mann: Zero, zilch, zip, nix, nada.
As a somewhat more talented Australian than Lewandowski said: banana nirvana manana….

It’s called “post-normal science”.
See how easy it is?

OMG that is funny!!!!! I have seen this up close and personal. I know of folks in certain circles who pull their own calculations out of their ass and call what they have done “statistical analysis”, and then have the balls to defend it as if it is legit!

Such as the Starfleet cadets over at Curry’s like Webby.
