Summary/Abstract: Starting from basic research the article describes a structure of applied statistics as parallel to the structure of Aristotle's rhetoric, embedded in his dialectics. According to the author the essential functional similarity between them lies in the acceptance of probability not only in persuading adversaries but also in statistical inference. As a result, the theoretical argument reflections on scientific activities can serve the research practice.
