Hi CRC, TMWKFE -

Just a little note of cheer cheer.

Though I'd report possession of a companion book to Steve Allen's seminal Dumbth. It's Innumeracy - Mathematical Illiteracy and its Consequences, by John Allen Paulos. Pretty 'old' actually, \ufffd1988. Review by Isaac Asimov:

An intelligent and good-natured analysis of the follies that arise from a lack of understanding (sometimes a willful lack) of science and mathematics. This pleasant book would improve the quality of thinking of anyone.

Anyway, it's a nice tour-de-farce of the many egregious examples to be found daily - in any meeja. (As if we didn't already know; WTF - there's only the Two of Us MWKFE around these days, y'know? And sometimes.. I question the Other One)
