You don't need fake statistics. Statistics will do just the same job. "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

When you think about it, there are so many ways to manipulate statistics that even "legitimate" research can come up with silly conclusions. Change the sample size, remove extreme values, do non-random sampling... The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion! You can also check out the Recap Thread here.

Still "Fickles" to my friends.

One of the reasons cited for people supposedly turning away from "experts" wasn't turning away form knowledge, just the use of poor research and analysis to come up with any old guff. People see right through it, and a lot of them were very tired of it. I could give you some stats on the distribution...

Years ago, in the Anywhere Machine forum, she inspired me to write the following: "If Charo gets a sunburn while riding a shark, does that make her a charred Charo on a carcharo?" I don't usually re-post my old puns, but I have to admit I'm kinda proud of that one. Still "Fickles" to my friends.
