I often hear statistics win the debate in some or other argument. I have a bit of experience in Stats and so when it’s brought up I pay attention, and this is why.......

Statistics is often misrepresented in error by some and with intent by others.

There is more similarity and difference between two people, than similarity and difference combined in all of statistics. Stats can only record the quantity of something, not its quality.

Us humans like order, so nice Mr. Orderly Stats comes out.

There is no doubt that stats are extremely useful though......

Stats provide a huge wealth of knowledge, but as you know, after knowledge comes power and with great power comes great responsibility......
