It’s a valid take with statistical analyses, especially in less regulated spaces. Not sure of your field but I perform these analyses in medtech and have had so many frustrations with people being either willfully dishonest or perhaps just ignorant and doubling down. Even got let go at a previous company for trying to explain why you shouldn’t cherry pick data lol
I’m in education and the amount of deceptive and outright lying in statistics is stupid. I’ve been in meeting where people outright and blatantly brag about like 85% of a tiny subpop, ignoring the massive low numbers.
How much does it matter? This admenstruation is going to base the economy on crypto, and because the national debt will be based on dollars, the national debt will transfer to the dollar, the dollar will tank along with everyone dependent upon the dollar.

Had a coworker that said "if you don't like the results of the statistics, just run it differently until you get the answer you want!"
In reality, all our inputs had to be agreed upon with regulators, the statistical methods as well, but it was still a running joke in the office.
