>Statistics is relevant to more fields than calc

Until calc is needed in the statistics. On which level do you even compare this, space or time complexity? I mean, are you saying, the complexity of the sum of the stochastic in use exceeds that of calc?

I think you gave an unfounded statement, without proof. i'm guessing you are biased to think statistics is harder, because you were less exposed to those classes and now you have remorse. If it was the other way around, you'd want more calc.

The way curricula are laid out, I'm getting the impression it is not so much about what is taught, school is rather a benchmark of abilities and a day care.
