Numbers, Charts, Graphics, Predictions, Analysis…

 



Have you heard enough? Do all those numbers get confusing?

Seems there are a lot of folks out there figuring out methods to inform and profound you with their efforts.

Trends, references, continuum, comparisons…

37% versus 63%, study group size, variables…

Any good accountant will tell you how to adjust and present the numbers to prove your point of view.

Investigation, inquiry, research, examination, analysis, review, survey, scrutiny, evaluation, interpretation…

Universities and Medical institutions use studies to post opinions and theories.

Do all the numbers and charts and graphs and speakers give us enough significant information to make our daily decisions?

Get a shot or not? Go to school or not? Go to work or not?

Do you find a number you approve of and tout it as fact, without any research of footnotes? Do you ballyhoo numbers that you can agree with that fits your opinions and lifestyle?

There are numbers for suicides. There are numbers for auto deaths. There are numbers for gun killings. There are numbers for war body counts. There are numbers for births. There are numbers for deaths. There are numbers for left handed people. There are numbers for people with halitosis. There are numbers on your credit card. There are numbers of family members. There are numbers on houses. There are numbers on your phone. There are numbers used in gambling. There are numbers on your money. There are numbers on pages. There are numbers in scores. There are numbers on commandments. There are numbers on your blood pressure. There are numbers on your license. There are numbers on your height and weight. There are numbers on rulers. There are numbers on clocks. There are numbers on ovens. There are numbers on prices. There are numbers on birthdays. There are number of votes.

Do all your numbers add up?
