Simple golden rules in BioInformatics
- All constants are variables.
- No matter what goes wrong, it will probably look right.
- Any simple problem can be made insoluble if enough meetings are held to discuss it.
- Statistics is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
