Misleading Statistics
Thomas Sowell| September 06, 2016
Mark Twain famously said that there were three kinds of lies -- "lies,
damned lies, and statistics." Since this is an election year, we can expect
to hear plenty of all three kinds.
Even if the statistics themselves are absolutely accurate, the words that
describe what they are measuring can be grossly misleading.

Risk concerns the deviation of one or more results of one or more future

may be positive or negative. However, general usage tends focus only on
potential harm that may arise from a future event, which may accrue either
from incurring a cost ("downside risk") or by failing to attain some benefit
