温伍德瑞德对这个问题有很好的解释。他论道虽然每个人都是难解的谜，可是把人类聚合起来，就有定律了。譬如说，你不能预知一个人的个性，可是能够确知人类的共性。个性不同，共性却是永恒的，统计家们也是这样的说法。
Winwood Reade is good upon the subject. He remarks that, while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician.
我向来不猜想。猜想是很不好的习惯，它有害于作逻辑的推理。
