摘要：

Definitions of statistics abound but many fail to capture adequately the essential interplay of data and theory. It is argued that the ubiquity of variability and uncertainty, which characterize a statistical problem, establish the subject as a major player in science and all rational enquiry. Emphasis is placed on the breadth and unity of the subject and questions are raised for the Royal Statistical Society about its balance, publications and role in education.
