my boss: pls choose samples with high expression, and with low expression (around the median) me, after spending hours selecting samples: okay done. but what should we call the low group? him: uh, low? me: but because we chose it from around the median, this group actually has moderate expression? him: ??? why did you do that? i said choose a group with low expression!
dude it is right there in writing, you wanted me to choose a group that was around the median. why ask this of me if you wanted a low-expression group???
