STATISTICS DON”T LIE? QUITE THE OPPOSITE

And quite the contrary: statistics are not operational statements, but mere correlations in which the operations must be assumed or deduced by the application of the observer’s cognitive bias. In other words, statistics are easily used as pseudoscientific pseudo-moral statements with which to activate the observer’s cognitive biases.

So, it would be more accurate to say that non-operationally stated, all statistics are lies.

That is the empirical evidence anyway. Statistics are largely used to lie.

All of Keynesian economics is statistical. Because if it was stated operationally none of us would tolerate the policy that is produced by it.
