We chemists (and maybe everyone else) have a saying, "There are three kinds of lies: white lies, damn lies, and statistics." An example: the old 1960's commercial where, "Two out of every three headache sufferers found Excedrin to be as good or better than plain aspirin." Note that if 1 out of 3 found Excedrin better, 1 out of 3 found aspirin better, and 1 out 3 found either one as good as the other, then 2 out 3 found Excedrin as good or better than aspirin, but 2 out of 3 also found aspirin as good or better than Excedrin!

Ralphie ★ Posted October 21, 2022 Share #9 Posted October 21, 2022 A good variant is “Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” Train aphorisms are the best! “There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we hope it is snot a train!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
