Abstract
Three situations are cited when caution is needed in using statistical computing packages: (a) when analyzing data and having insufficient statistical knowledge to completely understand the output; (b) when teaching the use of packages in a statistics course, to the exclusion of teaching statistics; and (c) when using packages in subject-matter teaching, without teaching the statistical methods underlying the packages.
