X-Ray Polarimetry: Historical Remarks and Other ConsiderationsWe briefly discuss the history of X-ray polarimetry for astronomical applications including a guide to the appropriate statistics.

We conclude our discussion with our concerns over adequate ground calibration, especially with respect to unpolarized beams, and at the system level.
