Quote by: Karl Pearson

There is nothing opposed in Biometry and . Your and I worked that out at Peppards [on the Chilterns] and you will see it referred in the Biometrika memoir. The formula leads up to the 'ancestral law'. What we fought against was the slovenliness in applying 's categories and asserting that such formulae apply in cases when they did not.
