Dear Rusty,

A couple of quick thoughts.  They generally seem fine to me and I've removed
comments that others have already made.  Thought I would pass them by you
and Bill to see what you think.  Sorry for the delay but I just got back.

The idea here is fine.  I'm just wondering if this is the best place.  p. 20
line 43-45 already has a statement about the examples.  I know this applies
to this section but maybe add there and then explicitly point to chapter 5.

                                           ^ value
To be completely correct it should say:
Both groups should provide the same count value.

Maybe I missed this correction but don't we also need to do this on Page 253
line 23?
