The questions to consider: What is the thesis or central argument of Best′s essay? What is his point about statistics–does he think they′re all suspect? Also, is he writing about all statistics, or one type? What does Best use as evidence in this essay to make his own case, and where does it come from? How would you characterize this writer′s voice? How formal? How personal? Who does he seem to be writing to? How readable is this essay, and what makes that true for you?
