   也许题目该称之为“好厨师是吃出来的”？

From Kaiser:

 The most intriguing and unexpected question was: to do well in this
business, do you have to read a lot? This is where I stumbled into a
spaghetti carbonara analogy while mixing metaphors with the gray
flannel, with which I have already been associated. Basically,
statistics is not pure mathematics, there is not one correct way of
doing things, there are many different methodologies, like there are
hundreds of recipes for making carbonara. What statisticians do is to
try many different recipes (methods), and based on tasting the food
(evaluating the outcomes), we determine which recipe to use. Because of
this, statisticians need to be well-read, to keep up with what are the
new methods being developed.
