Anyone with a decent education knows you can make stats say anything you want.
4 out of 5 dentists surveyed recommend this toothpaste. They don't tell you the dentists polled have no teeth, or are dead, or if it's just that they recommend ANY toothpaste, and the toothpaste being touted is, of course, A toothpaste.
I'm just not bowled by spouting stats. It's like a goddam Spout Circus.
