Chi-square Memes

The statistical trauma is real! Data scientists and physicists everywhere are having collective meltdowns over non-Gaussian probability density functions. For decades, we've been forcing our beautiful, messy data into perfect bell curves like trying to stuff an octopus into a sock. That χ² value of 25.3? It's basically the statistical equivalent of "this is fine" while everything burns around you. Meanwhile, we've been ignoring the obvious solution of multiple Gaussians because apparently that would be too... reasonable? Next time someone tries to impress you with their fancy Breit-Wigner convolution explanations, just smile and ask them if they've tried turning their data off and on again. Because clearly, we're all just making this up as we go along!
