Reply #9: What is the saying among statisticians? [View All]

"Figures don't lie, but liars figure."

You can cook any set of facts to make your argument appear reasonable, but that only applies if you selectively choose facts to support your case and omit others that may contradict it. A reasonable approach would be to gather as much information as possible before making a decision, a decision that's hopefully made with respect to the information and not despite it.
