[amibroker] Re: solving the prediction problem

I've made many, many statistics related posts on this board.  Show me
one where I said or implied that statistics "can prove anything." 
Mess up your own posts but don't pollute mine.

My ignorance, lol?  Well let me clear up a bit more of YOURS. In
Message 50563 to Al, you wrote: "I was speaking only of absolute proof
and it solely belongs in the realm of physical law or mathematical
theorem, not statistics."  Wrong again!  As I said (and apparently it
went completely over your head), 1) statistics *is* a branch of
mathematics and 2) there are *tons* of proofs in statistics.  You'd
know that if you ever studied it in any detail.  For example, do you
know how to PROVE the Central Limit THEOREM that you misapplied on
this board?

One more thing.  Stop pretending you know it all.  It's obvious to
anyone here with any experience or knowledge that you're either a
newbie or hopelessly naive and ignorant, or both.  So drop the 
front, the bizarre claims, be nice and go into the receive mode once
in a while and you just might learn something for a change.
