Abstract
Despite forty years of revolution in the tools available for statistical analysis, the current academic tradition in statistics is remarkably similar to the pre-computer tradition. This tradition is rooted in parametric modeling, estimation, and testing, and optimal procedures based on these models. The paper argues for a shift in emphasis away from parametric modeling and estimation to graphical summary, from omnibus optimal techniques to those that are more context-specific, and from goals of objectivity to goals of revelation. It is suggested that the emphasis in statistical education should be rebalanced to reflect certain modern computer-based techniques. 1

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
