states that the reason William Sealy Gosset used a pseudonym was not that they forbid publications but that they did not want competitors to know they got an advantage through hiring a statistician.

[edit] Is the formula for z correct?
"Gosset's statistic was z = t/√(n - 1)."
Given that Gosset's statistic was z = x-bar/SD, and given that the standard t formula is t = x-bar/SD√(n - 1), shouldn't the formula in the essay be z = t*√(n - 1)? Or, put another way, shouldn't the formula be t = z/√(n - 1)?
