I disagree. The canonical example here are p-values. Completely valid and accepted interpretation which will forever be abused. In the medical realm, we see the same things with false-positive and false-negative rates causing massive confusion. An even more recent example is COVID vaccine efficacy. I would take the bet that 90% of the general population could not give the accurate definition of what the definition of efficacy is.
- hellbannedguy 5y agoJust curious about the downvotes. 1. Was it he said statistics lie sometimes? 2. Or, questioned 90% efficacy of some Covid vaccines?
- hervature 5y agoI think you are getting downvoted because (hopefully) people recognize I didn't question their efficacy. Just that 90% of people know what that means.
