Very strongly disagree that understanding statistics is a prerequisite to learning R. There is a lot you can do with R with understanding statistics.

I also dislike the claim that R is not a real programming language. It is. Just because it makes different choices to other popular languages doesn't make it a toy.

Which is not what I said, so I have no idea what exactly you "very strongly" disagree with - it's all in your head. You disagree with your own vivid imagination.

The only one saying that is YOU!

Making up stuff to (strongly, of course!) disagree with!
