Moran and Holmes in “Unfinished Business”

I knew you'd make the right decision. You're a rare thing in this world, Holmes. You're an honorable man.

A famous statistician once stated that while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will do, but you can, with precision, say what an average man will do. Individuals vary, percentages remain constant. So says the statistician. I... am not an average man. (stabs Moran)
