> mentioned ANOVA at all is very small That's because nobody learns how to do statistics and/or those who do are not really interested in it. I taught statistics to biology students. Most them treated the statistics (and programming) courses like chores. Out of 300-ish students per year we had one or two that didn't leave uni mostly clueless about statistics. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

FWIW, universities are pitching statistics the same way as every other subject, i.e. not at all. They operate under a delusion that students are deaperately interested in everything and grateful for the privilege of being taught by a prestigious institution. That may have been the case 100 years ago, but it hasn't been for decades now. For me, stats was something I had to re-learn years after graduating, after I realized their importance (not just practical, but also epistemological). During university years, whatever interest I might have had, got extinguished the second the TA started talking about those f-in urns filled with colored balls. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
