I remember reading a Russell essay years ago where different types of philosophers go to hell, and hell for statisticians was something like "Infinite monkeys with infinite type writers, and they always type the works of Shakespeare"
A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
