    You can’t make statistics say anything, I agree. What happens is more sinister - cherry picking, misrepresenting, and falsely comparing statistics.

      That does happen a lot unfortunately.

      Usually people only want the statistics that confirm their preexisting positions and pick at anything else or ignore it.
