Hello Gordon,

Thank you very much for your comments. I especially like your point about probability distributions. My masters thesis was, in part, about finance's co-opting of probability theory and statistics to create an analytical and quasi-scientific framework for evaluating investments, portfolios, and markets. But the fit is a little less than satisfactory. Not a radical notion today, but 16 years ago it had a bit more 'pop' to it.

Thank you for the Galileo quote...much appreciated. Would love to hear more of your fave science quotes.

With smiles,

Jason
