of doctors and researchers who deal with statistics on a regular basis. My aunt and uncle are both oncologists. My grandfather is an orthopedist. Last year, my grandfather discussed this very issue with me: for the majority of his career, he did not understand statistics well enough to truly gain anything from scientific journals. He could understand things like means, standard deviation, median, etc. But when the literature begins to lean toward more esoteric statistics, he can no longer discern the meaning. He then handed me a book titled The Lady Tasting Tea, which he claims made a great difference in his understanding of statistics and their meanings. I graduated with a BS in computer science, and have taken enough statistics courses that the idea of reading one more word about chi square tests would melt my brain. But I digress. The point is that there is accessible literature out there for people who are not versed in statistics.

Seems more akin to handing someone a keyring with 3,727 keys on it and asking them to open the door.
