Stats work for me if used correctly

---

There is the key. But I am talking about the use of statistics in research. At most what you get with statistics is another question, it NEVER gives you an answer. It is a tool. I have sat in graduate presentations where the data shows no correlation but then they proceeded to give charts and graphs and discuss cause and effect. And the professors don't say anything, because they don't know anything about statistics. They skated through the statistics courses and don't want to look like the fools they are.

Garbage in garbage out they say.
