"We must admit to and confront our mistakes and establish rigorous and vigorous procedures to put things right".
Backstage speaking to the press, Miller echoed his sentiments made at the ceremony, calling the experience of leading his jury "rigorous and vigorous".
Using fractal geometry, he argued, the complex outlines of clouds and coastlines, once considered unmeasurable, could now "be approached in rigorous and vigorous quantitative fashion".
Mandelbrot implemented the use of fractal geometry in a number of fields to mathematically describe many irregular and fragmented patterns, some variously described by scientists as grainy, hydralike, in between, pimply, pocky, ramified, seaweedy, strange, tangled, tortuous, wiggly, wispy, wrinkled, and more, yet could 'henceforth be approached in a rigorous and vigorous quantitative fashion'.
Despite rigorous and vigorous promotion of '-omics' based technologies for diagnosis of human diseases, few of the many tests proposed have been introduced into clinical practice with clearly documented clinical benefits.
