Fully agree. Statistics are not global irrefutable facts about society, it's literally just one or a group of person computing something random and claiming it is representing society as a whole, or a journalist saying he/she read that figure in a reputable source. Even from a mathematical point of view statistics are incredibly hard to manipulate, but even before that, reality cannot be really measured and put into numbers.
