@oantolin Counterexample: John Kruschke's book "Doing Bayesian Data Analysis" it has cutesy puppies on the cover. Good book, used it a lot.

@drchaos @oantolin why puppies though?

@lizzard @oantolin I think he explains it in the book with "because they are cute and who doesn't like puppies?" I found it hard to argue with that....

@drchaos @lizzard wait a second, if you found it hard to argue against that, does that mean you tried to argue against it?

@oantolin @lizzard Sure, because I'm a stupid boring geek and thought puppies had no place on the cover of a serious maths textbook.

@drchaos @oantolin as all math geeks are, obviously 😸

@lizzard @oantolin I resent that implication.

I am a physicist 😁😉
