Wine tasting is a great example of how stats can mislead people. People hear that sommeliers can't tell the difference between cheap wine and expensive wine, and come to the conclusion that sommeliers don't know what they're talking about. They aren't trying to guess the price, though, they're trying to explain and appraise the flavour. A better view of wine tasting is that high quality wines can be purchased at very good prices.
