Statistics is science and I believe in science.
Statistics is a bullshit ‘science’ that serves to ‘prove’ one thing and the opposite. I will quote DdmrDdmr's personal text:
There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain
It is not uncommon to see two politicians from opposing parties using statistics to support each other's positions. And not just different statistics, sometimes even the same one. Statistics can be used to defend any lie.
