Occam's razor is not for shaving with.

As far as maths go, here is a quick example.Cretins like to say that the chances of X occurring are 1 in 100 billion (or whatever), therefore, it could not have happened.They forget what happens if there were 100 billion trials...

Dear Dr Page,Thanks for the example. Could you recommend me some literature on this topic.Thanks in advance,
Peter

Sure - any statistics book.You're welcome.Oh - can you provide some references for the claim that evolutionary bioogists believe that all gene trees and species trees should be congruent, and for the existence of a discipline in science whose sole purpose is to reconcile incongruent trees?Thanks.[This message has been edited by SLPx, 10-11-2002]
