Here are a couple of Peer Reviewed scientific articles that emphasis both
Scientific Method and Statistical Analysis:

Carson, C (1996) "Using the TQC problem-solving process to develop an improved
estimation technique", Texas Instruments Technical Journal, Nov-Dec, Vol. 13
No.6, pp. 101 - 106.

Carson, C & Carson, P (1997) "Peer review: a quantitative comparison Inspections
vs. Structured walkthrough", Texas Instruments Technical Journal, Jan-Feb, Vol.
14, No. 1, pp. 89 - 94.

These two pertain to your "acusation", I have many more published articles in
Tech Journals and Health Publications and have completed a Ph.D and Professional
Licensure.

You stated this in a previous post about someone else:

"This is what makes it an opinion as opposedto indisputable fact. If you have a
different opinion, then fine, but please refrain from stating chicken logic.
Thanks in advance."

Perhaps your statement pertains to your "opinion"?  What are your
qualifications?

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
