Sampling with and without replacement I seem unable to use "replace = F" when I want to sample without replacement. I would think that it comes down to "F is not a legitimate abbreviation for FALSE." except that Dalgaard (p. 118) uses F for FALSE and it works "pairwise.t.test(folate, ventilation, pool.sd = F)"
(a) Naughty Peter. It works, but is ill-advised. The difference is that FALSE is a reserved word (as is TRUE) but F and T are *not* reserved.
Yeah I know, tell users to type until their fingers fall off... In my defense the point is actually made on p.12 (both editions) and can be found via "FALSE" in the index.
