David Hogg on responsible data analysis:
The key idea is that the result of responsible data analysis is not an answer but a distribution over answers. Data are inherently noisy and incomplete; they never answer your question precisely. So no single number … will adequately represent the result of a data analysis. Results are always pdfs (or full likelihood functions); we must embrace that.
