Vexed questions  

1. "The difference between statistically significant and not statistically significant is not in itself necessarily statistically significant."

2. Tom at BTD is rightly concerned about the LATimes's anouncement that they're going to add a wiki functionality to their editorial page. I wonder though if the scope of this is smaller than he thinks -- it seems unlikely anybody will be changing the actual editorial. Maybe it will work more like an op-ed for folks too lazy to make their own arguments?

3. Chomsky talks about universal language and human rights, but declines to really connect the two. [via 3quarksdaily]

4. And the great symphonies of Beethoven are available here for download in mp3 format, if only for a limited time. Unfortunately I seem to have missed the Eroica. [via Amardeep Singh]
