I agree that statistics can help a lot in experiments and should be a part of standard education. My point here is, when physicists encounter uncertainty, they are encouraged more by the current culture to design a better experiment with deterministic theory to reduce the error, compared to analysing the results statistically. It would be better to have both, but it's not as bad as you might think for focusing more on the former one, at least for some fields I'm familiar with.
