You can also make any lie you want with statistics.
- ceejayoz 8y agoYou can also use that argument to wave away any statistics you don't like the ramifications of.
- crististm 8y agoYes, but does this make my argument false?
- ceejayoz 8y agoIt makes your argument specious, barring any supporting criticisms of the statistics in question.
- gotocake 8y agoIt isn’t an argument, it’s a restated aphorism devoid of context. I think I’m not alone in wondering if you actually have an argument to make, one this involves making specific claims about the statistics I’m question and the methods by which you claim they’re lying.
- gotocake 8y agoThat’s not even an argument, but I’d certainly be willing to see your analysis of these particular statistics and why you think they’re fraudulent.
