Abstract: 

The items covered in the paper are as follows: 1)teaching as an action leading the student towards a better understanding and interpretation of reality; 2)statistics as an area of knowledge that supplies scientific models closer to reality than classical deterministic ones; 3)the appeal of simplified models versus the risk of lack of rigour and of credibility; 4)the role of algorithmic computations versus laboratory simulation results.
