Time to quote Mark Twain:
"There are three kinds of lies; lies, damn lies, and statistics."
Mark Twain was, of course, referring to what we now call "spinning." I don't detect any agenda or spinning in this article. Do you see anything that sounds deceitful, or are you just coming along to piss on everyone and everything?
And then, you can always construe the statistics to mean what you want them to mean.
