Jon, I know you are a very intelligent guy. Read this book. It is a
classic and was out of print for decades, but within in lies universal
truth, presented in a humorous way. Now it is back in print again.
https://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/0393310728
You can read the first few pages online for free.
It is under $10. Or you local welfare bookstore probably has a copy you
can read for free. (pubic library)
I was fortunate enough to get a copy from one of my several Statistics
profs when he retired. He tried to teach Ed statistics to wannabe
school sups. The majority of them were dumber that a rock.
It is the ONLY book from college or grad school I continue to refer to!
In fact, it was not even a required book, but Dr Neteusil in the Ed Stat
class kept referring to it because ed statistics (and peer reviewed
pubs) are rife with statistical errors, bias and misapplication.
