You are right, statistics often get a bad rep, especially when the sources and the mechanism of data slicing is not even mentioned. However, I think this article makes a very good show of what exactly they mean by "Europe" and what numbers make the US look worse. Do you mean you don't agree how they picked their numbers? Because the answer sounds like you didn't actually read the article, just making a general critique at statistics.
