You put a great deal of faith in data without knowing the methodology used to derive it.

Don’t you know that 84.32% of statistics are made up on the spot?

The ‘methodology’ used may have been in the original NYT article that I got the chart from.

Most of us have been quoting statistics that pretty well match what’s in those charts.

If you know some are wrong you should post it.
