Abstract: Abstract I share my personal thoughts about Boris Mirkin and, as a witness of his long-term development in data analysis (especially in the area of classification), pose several questions about the future in this area. They are: about mutual treatment of the variables, variation of which has very different practical importance; relationship between internal classification criteria and external goals of data analysis; and dubious role of the distance in clustering in the light of the last results about metrics in high dimensional space. The key question: the perspective of the “complexity statistics,” similarly to “complexity economics.”
