Conversely, what if the numbers are unbias and we are in fact the bias ones. What if, for example, Irish Americans are actually more prone to purchase Guinness beer because we feel that it has a slightly higher alcohol content then all those other beers? Tongue and cheek response, but "wielding numbers"? Politicians don't misuse statistics to get what they want, people misuse statistics to get what we want. We shouldn't ban statistics and we shouldn't ignore the fact that both "sides" are equally susceptible.
