The covariance matrix
What is a covariance matrix. In a nutshell it is a matrix that contains the covariances between levels of a factor in an ANOVA design.3 A covariance is the shared or overlapping variance between two things (sometimes called variance in common).

English term (edited):
to avoid overlapping variance with
pour éviter de mélanger les variations avec
when you amalgamate two statistical distributions, you get a statistical distribution that is made of two overlapping distributions, not as meaningful as the statistical distribution of only one characteristic.

if "avoiding covariance" can make sense in statistics I must have skipped the classes about covariance...

which is a proof that "avoiding covariance" makes sense? which bit of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance you think applies here?
