There's not "right" and "wrong" here.  There's just "what you consider 
being something worth thinking about" and "what you consider so wildly 
unlikely as to not be worth more than 3 seconds of your time".

I'm surprised if (as you claim) professional statisticians place these 
issues in the first category.

I still don't think you've understood it, but Nathaniel seems to have 
satisfied your (really rather inane) queries.
