The future of data analysis. Annals of Mathematical Statistics 33 (1), (1962), page 13.
Вариант: "An approximate answer to the right question is worth a great deal more than a precise answer to the wrong question." "as the renowned statistician John Tukey once reportedly said," according to Super Freakonomics page 224.
