You know what I really hate about statistics? Realising you need it to explain just how much is, well, rational if you're a survivor. At least, for my head (it all started going *click* when I sort of internalised fuzzy logic at some point).
I'm not entirely sure what you mean there -- do you care to elaborate? Do you mean stuff like what's explained in the Schrodinger's Rapist article, like how having experienced abuse changes your expectations and your sense of what's likely, or... ?
If that's what you mean, then yeah, but it doesn't seem to help much with the formal, on-paper stuff... any more than being good at baseball makes it easier to learn calculus :-)
