"IT'S ONLY STATISTICS!"
The general public know Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) as the founder of military
nursing during the Crimean War (1854-6). While there, Nightingale initiated the military
allotment system. After "retirement" in England, Nightingale's statistical work helped
initiate "the welfare state" (social security, etc.). As a young woman, Nightingale was tutored
by Joseph Sylvester (1814-1897), one of the greatest mathematicians in history, who later said she was the
best of all his students. Nightingale said, "Every one should study statistics to learn God's
plan for the Universe." Widespread statistical abuse, unprofessionally ignored by most
statisticians, results in a "broke" conception of God's plan for the Universe.
