As a side note. Statistics are a lot like Bikinis! What they reveal may be fascinating, but what they conceal, could well be critical!

I once aspired to specialize in statistics. I took several post graduate courses in stats. I've never heard this quote. I LOVE IT.

The more common quote is: There are lies, damn lies, and then statistics.

I love to read conclusions based on statistics...... and then rip them to shreds.

Not sure where or when I picked that one up, it was not my invention, but it was a 'real' enough statement that it stuck in my head, over the years. Esp. in regard to statistics of any kind, being manipulated to show what is wanted, rather than what is true.
