Subject: RE: BS: Innumeracy and Discussions
Sometimes in these discusions it is claimed that "you can prove anything with stats". This is of course not true.

People lie with stats just as they do with words but as people in general are less numerate than they are literate it is easy to lie with numbers.

Because we spend of time speaking and listening and not much counting and doing sums?
