My theory: Randall got some interesting patterns drawing stars for the previous [[Gravity]] game, and wanted to show us how cool this one looks.

Kudos to whomever used "datum" in its correct singular form. And also a kudo to the same person for their use of "data" correctly.

:::This reminds me of a “dad joke” my mom would make every time we had molasses out on the dining table: she would inevitably, at some point, ask me to “pass the lasses.” And I would follow the script, and say, “don’t you mean MOlasses?” To which she would reply, in her best (meaning: awful) fake southern drawl, “hows ken it be MOlasses, whens I ain’t had none yet.”[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 05:25, 21 December 2022 (UTC) | :::This reminds me of a “dad joke” my mom would make every time we had molasses out on the dining table: she would inevitably, at some point, ask me to “pass the lasses.” And I would follow the script, and say, “don’t you mean MOlasses?” To which she would reply, in her best (meaning: awful) fake southern drawl, “hows ken it be MOlasses, whens I ain’t had none yet.”[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 05:25, 21 December 2022 (UTC) | ||

In the business of quality engineering it's all too common for the lab to be asked to neglect "bad" data points. The method is known as "Test until good." -- "Aha! You finally got one data point that says the stuff's okay. Ship it!"

− | :The usual convention is that whiskers around a solitary point are standard deviations (68% confidence intervals | + | :The usual convention is that whiskers around a solitary point are standard deviations (68% confidence intervals) but if they have perpendicular caps they're two standard deviations (95% confidence), although I am more than a little concerned I can't easily confirm this which I thought was common knowledge. The convention for box-and-whiskers plots are different, where the whiskers are 95% confidence intervals whether they have caps or not, and the boxes are two quartiles (50% confidence intervals.)
