What I consider is the most sad is so few understand statistics. Take, for example,
the Monty Hall problem.
So few people understand that when given additional information (by a door being opened) their random guess should change to the alternative door.
And yet so many people continue to buy lottery tickets. Or, as it is also known, a tax on those who are bad at the maths.
