It may be a branch of the arts, but quite frankly at the rate I'm on, it could be a branch of children's storytime for all I care

However the issue is that to use stats properly you need some prior knowledge of the market or subject you are examining and too frequently a stat or infographic is shown to someone to tell a story because they are too stupid/lazy/busy to do their own research and form the opinion via informed reasoning.
When you do things the quick way information becomes unreliable at best and at worst dangerous.
The fact that people are still tweaking stuff from 40 years ago shows a bigger problem.
A) why do they care?
B) what's the agender?
C) how much credence can we put on further work...
This fact that maths becomes subjective then puts it in with the Tate modern....

This left you with a 9/10 chance of being hit by some completely sober dick-head !!
And there are only 2 drivers who drink. Its quite an effort for the 2 of them to cause that many accidents.
