I love the statement "By doing this, you have simultaneously compromised and got your own way." I had an approximately 5-year running argument with a former manager about this that drove all our colleagues crazy. I find that statisticians sometimes shoot themselves in the foot arguing about what's technically most methodologically correct rather than focusing on whether the end-result is correct.

Haha! A collaborator used to say 'always remember that it's more important to be effective than to be right'.
