[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3613808, member: 43724"] That is the problem with statistics. On the whole, the numbers are pure, but its the wording around them that changes the story. For instance, 100% of the people on this earth have drank water. Thats easy to understand. However, you phrase it like "Everyone who has ingested dihydrogen monoxide has died" and you have just completely changed the narrative of the statistic without lying one bit. Statistics are simply a stepping stone to predicting probabilities, however politicians like to use them to tell stories. [/QUOTE]
