While I understand that to some degree, it's sad because statistics and numbers can be very very powerful and extremely revealing if done right. They can prove or show things that go against what you'd think but are in fact reality. But then so many people try and misuse them or have a general lack of understanding of them that they learn to dimsiss them at all times. It's unfortunate.
