Dave the gnome says: "Most statistics can be skewed to serve many purposes." Absolutly, completely and totally false!!! Statistics do NOT do anything of the kind, nor can they be skewed. Statistics are mathematical results of applying certain procedures to collected data. The data collected might be incomplete, the method of collection might be wrong, or the wrong kind of procedure may be used on the data, but that does not say anything about the skewing of statistics. And by implying that it can, it gives false color to all procedures. Don't look just at the results - look at the method of collection, etc., before you believe what is being reported.
