Para que entendamos mejor sus argumentos sobre los grandes n\u00fameros y las probabilidades, el autor recurre a divertidas y cotidianas an\u00e9cdotas ilustrativas. Comprendemos entonces sin esfuerzo por qu\u00e9 nos empe\u00f1amos en jugar a la loter\u00eda o en acudir a astr\u00f3logos y adivinos, por qu\u00e9 suspendemos viajes por temor a atentados terroristas, no sabemos cuadrar una cuenta bancaria o pensamos que poco importa un bill\u00f3n de pesetas de m\u00e1s o de menos en los presupuestos del Estado, por qu\u00e9 perdemos tanto tiempo en nimiedades y cometemos tantas torpezas evitables.Dejemos, pues, de ser anum\u00e9ricos, o analfabetos en matem\u00e1ticas, y veremos que, seg\u00fan Douglas Hofstadter, autor de G\u00f6del, Escher, Bach (Metatemas 9), \u00abnuestra sociedad ser\u00eda totalmente distinta si cualquiera pudiera entender realmente las ideas de este importante libro (\u2026) que podr\u00eda constituir una aut\u00e9ntica revoluci\u00f3n en la ense\u00f1anza de las matem\u00e1ticas\u00bb.
