Quote by George E. P. Box
Statisticians, like artists, have the bad habit of falling in love with their models.
Summary
This quote suggests that statisticians, similar to artists, develop a strong attachment to the models they create. It implies that statisticians might become overly attached and biased towards their models, which can hinder their ability to critically evaluate the models' effectiveness or consider alternative approaches. Like artists who become attached to their creations, statisticians may have difficulty recognizing the limitations or flaws in their models, potentially leading to a lack of objectivity in their analysis.
