For two hours on Saturday evening, the two presumptive presidential nominees will field questions on policy issues, character and faith (consecutively, not debating each other) from Rick Warren at his Saddleback Church in Orange County, Calif...

...tell, faith in expert opinion is how medical students, residents and even full-blown docs do much of their learning - mostly just trusting a few great doctors who teach. I know enough math to know that neither my colleagues nor I really know statistics. Not one orthopedist nor one neurosurgeon in my acquaintance really understands the math used in statistical papers.
