It's maddening how badly almost everyone sucks at understanding and interpreting statistics (including many who have had significant training in doing so), and chilling when that is combined with a forensic method that is at heart statistical.
OJ Simpson got away with murder because the jury didn't understand statistics, and now more and more innocent people go to jail because juries and judges don't understand statistics.
