Statistical malpractice is an insidious, and indeed prestige-laden and grant-rewarded, activity. Brilliantly clever, but fundamentally wrong-headed, number-crunchers are encouraged to devise inappropriate applications of mathematical methods to health problems. This species of misdirected zealot has so far been immune from criticism.
统计失当行为是一种阴险的行为，实际上它还承载着声望并能获得研究经费奖励。那些极其聪明但根本思路错误的数字运算者，被鼓励将数学方法不适当地应用于健康问题。到目前为止，这种误入歧途的狂热分子一直免受批评。
