Why Do We Keep Getting Made Fun Of?

The eternal turf war between mathematicians and statisticians continues! This meme perfectly captures the hierarchy of statistical sins according to "pure" mathematicians.

First level: "Statistics is not real maths" - the classic elitist view from theoretical mathematicians who look down on applied fields.

Second level: "Statisticians sold their soul to work in finance" - even worse, they're using their powers for *gasp* money instead of pure academic pursuit!

But the final boss that sends mathematicians into rage mode: "Probability for any event is 0.5, it either happens or it doesn't" - the statistical equivalent of nails on a chalkboard that makes anyone with even basic probability knowledge want to flip a table. There's a 100% chance this statement will trigger statisticians everywhere!
