If you want to teach the statistical religion, this might
be appropriate. However, I would suggest instead the
book by Clemen, _Making Hard Decisions_, which discusses
real problems and does a fair job of introducing the
balancing of consequences.
This is a key concept, and the whole topic, despite the
title, is not really discussed by Moore.
