Spanish working in Spain, not so young to be desirable. Able of very heavy weight lifting, steel strong, fast runner and swimmer. Dreamer, hard working, extremely lazy when required. Lovely father, loyal friend, dilettante but able to focus when reward is worthy. Irresistibly handsome at times living in a castle.
I read a chapter of the book, it criticizes non Bayesian statistics too much. For example at discussing p-values. The p-value method is for getting sound results but not for interpreting the particular value obtained in one experiment, for example 5% is for being right 19 of 20 times, the numbers obtained in the experiments doesn't change this.
