Albert's point can be amplified to the larger question:

Are we all looking for a way of doing things that discounts critical thought and numerate cynicism?

Ultimately, we all live or die on numbers, and we all need to invent ways of cross-checking them within any dataset.

Cheers

Dot plot or probability plots, what do you do when compensation forces a
significant number of events into the first channel?  Dot plots don't
get any blacker than black, some contour algorithms truncate the first
channel of data!

In the 4-color world it is sometimes impossible to keep events out of
the gutter when PMTs are balanced and compensation is optimized.
