Maybe you’re familiar with the subject of inferential statistics. It’s a method for reducing the uncertainty in samples of data, motivated by the idea that being uncertain is a bad thing to have in the world. Here is Winston Churchill showing us otherwise: good existing only because of uncertainty:
Without this measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.
(Quoted from page 11 of Everyday Quantum Reality, by David A. Grandy. Indiana University Press, 2010.)
