A (usually) intentionally ironic combination of the terms "anarchism" and "statism", attributed to Dr Roderick Long of the University of North Carolina. The idea is to imply the hypocrisy of anarchism by noting how anarchists in power invariably turn to totalitarian methods to enforce their authority. A notable use of the term is in the essay "The Anarcho-Statists of Spain" by Bryan Caplan.
"...the Anarchists preferred to become another predictive success of Bakunin's theory; they collaborated with some governments, established others on their own, and in each case proved themselves to be at least as oppressive as other governing classes throughout history. This is why I call the Spanish Anarchists 'anarcho-statists.' "

Bayesian statistics is a theory in the field of bullshititics based on the Bayesian interpretation of probability where probability expresses a degree of belief that Bayesian models are real and can provide useful information.

The entire system simply requires you to believe hard enough, close your eyes, and wish upon a star, and already know the statistical outcome you desire (aka common sense).

Works best if you applaud and apply fairy dust.
Igor: You should rethink that decision you're about to make. Let me introduce you to Bayesian statistics. It is a mathematical procedure that applies probabilities to statistical problems. It provides people the tools to update their beliefs in the evidence of new data.

These are statistics, usually quoted during morning breakfast radio, current affairs shows and by people butting into your conversation, have no real basis and are note scientific by any stretch of the word.

Usually, these statistics are versions of real statistics, with only the most inflammatory parts cherry-picked out of the real statistics to create a sensationalist response from those that hear it.
Woman: "Did you hear on the radio this morning, 87% of housework is done by women; you men are so lazy!"
Man: "O.K., so did it include around the house jobs like cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn, gardening, car maintenance and opening pickle jars for you women?! That's just hocus-pocus and tabloid statistics!"
Woman: "No, why? Is all that important?!"
Man: *head explodes*

The following are the statistics of all the games made from these consoles, divided into the offical ESRB ratings, with the number and percentage of games made in that category of rating. Although the PC games are only the recent ones made.

Gamecube
E=132 games (49.07%)
M=19 games (7.06%)
R/P=27 games (10.03%)
T=91 games (33.82%)
Total games: 269

PlayStation2
E=302 (35.93%)
M=112 (13.31%)
R/P=134 (15.93%)
T=293 (34.83%)
Total games: 841

X-box
E=129 (29.25%)
M=73 (16.55%)
R/P=76 (17.23%)
T=163 (37.96%)
Total games: 441

PC
E=142 (16.82%)
M=104 (12.32%)
R/P=406 (48.10%)
T=192 (22.74%)
Total games: 844

N64
E=122 (52.58%)
M=26 (11.20%)
R/P=52 (22.41%)
T=32 (13.79%)
Total games: 232

E=242 (36.39%)
M=49 (7.36%)
R/P=184 (27.66%)
T=190 (28.57%)
Total games: 665

Although PS2 won in total games, I bet a lot of these games made by these companies are pretty bad, considering u only see about 100-200 games at blockbuster for a single console. X-Box won as making the most percentage of M and T games, while Gamecube won in E games. And of coarse the mammoth PS2 won in no catagory for percentage, but won in E,M,T in numbers due to its mass production of games. While the PC won by a long shot in the R/P category. I'd say that Nintendo has the best game franchises; Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil. Then PS2 with GTA, and X-Box with Halo. PC with the major companies like Blizzard, Westwood, ID.

Bob: Wow I have to use a stupid formula to find the test statistic for a sample size of n, but in order to do that I have to find SE(y) which is s divided by the square root n and in order to find that I have to find s. But, in order to find s i have to calculate the sample mean...
