At lunch today I read a short tutorial style article the Rearrangment
Inequality and some of the most basic stuff you can do with it, of
which the most powerful was to provide a trivial proof of Chebysev's
Inequality.  So now I guess that proof for you would be sort of like n
+ n = 2n. :-)

In any case, I'm glad this stuff is at least a little bit important,
since it makes me feel like I'm not a total dolt.

I'll have to check that stuff out at some point.  It's ironic, but you
might just end up having to say something deep to say about microarray
data, after all.
