'In God We Trust. All Others Must Bring Data.'

"In God we trust. All others must bring data." This quote is widely attributed to the great statistician W. Edwards Deming, but like so many other great quotes, it is attributed to without proper documentation; nevertheless it is an incredibly important quote.

Data is indispensable to the scientific method; and, only statistics can inform you if your data support your hypothesis.

Data no longer "Speaks to" feminists, progressives, or the woke" because the method of science is racist; colonialist; eugenic.

Its strength, to objectively determine what your data found, is now a cardinal sin of the woke religion.

General Douglas MacArthur, the famed commander tapped to rebuild Japan in the years following World War II, aimed to destroy Japan's militaristic tradition and feudal social and economic systems-and he set Japan on the road to becoming a democratic economic superpower.

In Japan, Deming would lecture on applying statistics to quality control and improvement.

Let us get back to the quote with which we started: "In God we trust. All others must bring data." We discussed the importance of data, but I believe the quote is telling us something more.
