Subject: Re: [MBZ] made up statistics
All statistics are suspect. Again, I recommend "How to lie with
statistics" by Huff.
http://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/0393310728
It is illustrated with cartoons, and illustrates the many ways statistics
can be distorted.
All statistics stink because of that exact reason...

You knew this would wake me up, didn't you?
Since I am always willing to learn, why don't you direct me to a
credible
site that shows these statistics. Or, you could just admit that you
have
an
irrational fear of any airplane smaller that a Boeing 747 and be done
with
it.
