Abstract	I consider the situation in the history of probability and statistics which is almost the same, as I presume, in the history of mathematics and perhaps in the history of science in general. The main circumstances are: the estimation of the work of scientists is based on wrong premise; the imposed standardization of scientific work is useless and very harmful; and neither the scientific community nor governments properly understand the great importance of information. All this seriously and negatively influence scientific work, and a disgrace on science is readily seen. Below, in § 2, I consider these circumstances and apply appropriate examples of mistakes made by some authors.
