- Quasi-families (`quasibinomial`
`quasipoisson`) allow overdispersion — no AIC is computed.

- `weights` in `glm` means **prior weights** (not frequency weights) — for frequency weights
use the cbind trick or offset.

- Default `family = gaussian(link = identity)` — `glm()` with no `family` silently fits OLS (same as `lm`
but slower and with deviance-based output).

- `I()` is required to use arithmetic operators literally: `y ~ x + I(x^2)`. Without `I()`
`^` means interaction crossing.
