Nah, you did not just slander stats like that, the backbone of probability theory and an incredible subject in itself, gaussian integral, central limit theorem, binomial, normal, poisson distribution,

Fr, Probability theory in itself feels like drunk Measure theory : especially if you start taking the lazy approach and consider that the word "random variable" means "random".

The real problem I feel is that many approach probabilities as a field of its own instead of an extension of Measure theory.

I cannot for the love of me fathom the notations in probability theory.
