Mark Twain, I think said, "There are three types of lies: Lies, damn lies, and statistics". It is a fact that statistics are used by people to try to prove a point, but too many people fail to ask where or how these people came up with their statistics. Smoking deaths for example, are computer-generated statistics, but in reality are only estimates, not actual facts.

This stat falls within that 64%.
I have to say that it's 23% true.

I actually think it was 64.999 and 3/4 percent. You have to round that up to a flat 65%.
I loved the quote from Mark Twain. He told it like it was :)
