Had a stastics class where the instructor tried to prove that 2+2=5... You know... there are three kinds of lies:
- Lies
- Damned lies
- Statistics
But seriously, university level stats are nothing to joke about... they can be confusing, and leading people into confusing territory is a good way to lie to them. Statistics do not really lie...

"Statistics do not really lie"
They do when you choose which ones you use and disregard any that disprove your lie.

You were in the wrong class. It's accounting where you learn 2+2= 5.

Statistics do not really lie... Figures don't lie - but liars figure.
