“Never trust a statistic you didn’t manipulate yourself.”
That old saying still rings true. These days, “manipulating” often doesn’t mean outright falsifying numbers, but rather presenting and framing them in a way that supports your own narrative.
To highlight this, a great initiative was launched: Unstatistik des Monats (“Unstatistic of the Month”). Each month, it takes a closer look at misleading claims, questionable data interpretations, and how statistics can be bent to fit a story.
Well worth browsing through—enjoy!
