    ...there's two kinds of people in this world, those with loaded guns and those that dig.

    How does the saying go?

    There's lies, there's damned lies, then there's statistics...

    I've always thought that was an ironic saying, since statistics are intrinsically honest.

    statistics can be presented in ways that are not appropriate. Like "mass shootings have increased!" No, that stat is wrong because they (those using the stats to prove the point they want to make) changed the definition midstream. When you change from the FBI standard of 4 killed to 2 or more shot, of course it appears on paper to increase.

    I agree with what you're saying. But statistics don't lie, although they can be mis-represented, mis-used, or misunderstood by people.

    It's like if a geologist examines some rocks to determine if an area is good for, say, copper mining, and they dig the mine, but find no copper. It wasn't because the rocks lied.
