Note: I used "~" because the uniform is decomposable, but into a weird combination of Bernouilli + uniform. The discrete uniform, I believe, can be indecomposable. — PolitiTweet.org

@pedroscasal @gallir Also when for n of >10k, when the std is half the mean you can eliminate lognormal, gamma, etc. simply because it doesn't add up. STD is meaningless as 2 sigmas can't make it negative. — PolitiTweet.org
