Myth 3: A statistician's work can be replaced by a computer, because it is all about performing certain numerical calculations.

Truth 3
The implementation of statistical methods by means of calculations and algorithms is part of a statistician's skills. He/she typically will use commercial software as a calculation tool. However, it is not the same to perform those calculations as it is to know which calculations must be performed, and for what reasons. No commercial statistical software package can substitute for the statistician's judgment and experience for analyzing processes and proposing solutions for given situations.
