1) Statistical process, a servant of logic, has value only if it verifies, clarifies, and measures relationships that have been established by clear, logical analysis. Statistics is a means, never an end, of research.

2) A statistical process should not be employed in the analysis of data unless it adds clarity or meaning to the analysis of data. It should not be used as window dressing to impress the reader.
