If you are unfamiliar with basic statistical concepts it is hard to believe you will be able to provide any compelling contributions to making the internet faster.

No, that really doesn't follow.

Some classes of issues will be better solved if the solver understands stats. M/M/1, distributions, percentiles, etc, yes. If only I understood them...

By my local major London paper somehow needs 4MB of crap and >60s to display a 2 para story. I don't need anything as subtle as "stats" to tell them that they're holding it wrong and why I avoid their site like the plague.

Well at least it's not a CCDF.
