Abstract
Let me be clear from the beginning that by “components” I do not mean events or pieces of events that can be counted to become members of a statistical sample. I am doubtful whether in human behavior there are any such. In certain games, such as baseball and cricket, the named actions of the players appear to be repeated many times over and upon the samples so created a sort of statistic can be computed, assigning “batting averages” and the like to the various players; and such “averages” are indeed a rough indication of “better” and “worse.” But it is clear that every play of the game is unique and that every ball pitched or bowled is conceptually inseparable from others, forming with them a larger strategy. The most elementary requirement of statistics – uniformity of sample – is therefore not met.
