You should remember a phrase attributed to Benjamin Disraeli and other British statesmen and popularized in the U.S. by Mark Twain:
"There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics."
It’s not the statisticians who lie. It’s usually people who manipulate statistics to bolster or support their arguments in favor of their own point of view.
