- mlthoughts2018 8y agoWhy is it contradictory? I don’t have special knowledge to confirm if this was manipulative. But since manipulating the presentation of data is so common in academic papers, newspaper infographics, etc., it’s a reasonable prior belief. Generally being skeptical of data presentations is reasonable.
