Para o meu amigo Ronaldinho (quem não tiver senso de humor, favor ir
direto para a tecla "Delete"):

Imagine there's no parameter
It's easy if you try
No theta below us
Above us only pi 
Imagine all the PhDs
Living and singing free

Imagine there's no MLE
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or prior for
And no reverends too
Imagine all the people
Teaching and researching in peace 

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And Statistics will be as one 

Imagine no convergences
I wonder if you can
No need for expansions
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the Y's 
And no thetas in the books

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will throw the betas away 
And the Y's and X's will live as one

     Asymptotics is the art of knowing where to be sloppy
     and where to be precise.
