"People commonly use statistics like a drunk uses a lamp post -- for support rather than illumination" --

Bogdan,

You have found a gem here!.

I can't say that I haven't done my share of leaning on lamposts.
That's why the joke of calling statistics- SADISTICS.
Mostly because they are negative polls of things happening to
the populous.

Then again, we can generate our own.

Anyway this is an interesting one, Bogden.

Hi Bogdan,

So very true.  I learned long ago, the very painful lesson that you must always dig a little deeper, beyond the statistics, before making a decision.  Unfortunately, I also learned from my first sales manager in the Insurance business that you first find a need and then modify the same statistics to show how your Offer meets that need.  Fortunately, I also learned from my Bible that this is not the way to make a sale.

Thanks,

Phil Black

Why yes Bogdan, I believe Mark Twain hit the nail on the head.

And Dr. Robert, I love the term SADISTICS.  I may throw that one into my vocabulary.

Kindest regards,
