Yes it happens every hour of every day to help people get their way. It only works if we fail to check out these stats and the person or organization issuing them. If you don't trust the source don't trust the stats. But we should always check it out. Knowledge rules.

As Benjamin Disraeli (a former PM of the UK) said, "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics."
