Karl Popper's Superstitious Indeterminism: Is Statistics a Science?
This paper shows how a great philosopher, like Popper, can easily fall back to a common superstitious person. This paper also criticizes the general practice by statisticians to invent ad hoc method or manipulate data to suppress errors. Instead, this paper promotes the Xenophanes spirit of discovering from uncertainties and unknowns.
