Lies, Damn Lies, and... well... you know

It's been years - literally - since I aced the final in my introductory stats for social sciences (i.e., "class that satisfies the math requirement for students terrified of math") freshman year in college, thereby pulling my proverbial biscuits out of the proverbial fire that was my astonishingly bad grade going into the final. As a result, anything I say about statistics should be inherently suspect, which is why normally, I try not to say anything about statistics. Plus, I'm a lawyer. Most of my audience is probably snoozing anyway, so why add to the problem? Good thing I don't get paid by the reader...

Anyhoodly, maybe I'm just nutty, but Dave Burge is making sense.
