Hi All,
I am also a man of Science and I love mathematics and physics but without being provocative I may add some criticises about statistics and human beings:
1/ Man fits poorly in equations, only crowd does.
2/ Man is unique and statistics are seeking common rules.
About medical studies:
1/ We are trying to prove treatments efficiency and we found the power of placebo.
2/ Technique is quite nothing without a good practitioner.
3/ Study tries to find a technique efficiency and never seek about the practitioner efficiency!
Conclusion =>Enhance practitioner and placebo!
