It goes to the crux of the argument though...
My issue isn't with the use of statistics.
It never has been.
It's the 'selective' use of statistics that sees data included because it supports an argument, while other data is omitted or ignored because it doesn't.
Given that the really advanced data isn't even available to the average punter, or even it seems to general subscribers to some of these stats sites, you only get a limited picture.
I've spoken a bit about variables affecting stats.
Well there, hidden in those very very advanced statistics are some of the 'variables' being somewhat addressed.
