I see on Yahoo Answers people using fancy stastics to prove utter nonsense. Do others believe what they hear when statistics are used?

Only gullible people. For every "statistic" you see I can promise you with very little digging you could find another "statistic" in direct opposition to the previous one. Meaning, anyone can go online & find a "statistic" to prove their point, regardless of how asinine their point may be.

If statistics were reliable, then there are only two people employed by private companies in the U.S.

"Statitians" are very valuable and concise.
Dunno about the statistics you're seeing ... but when it's tied to a web site that is creditable, then yes, it makes a statement more valid.

statistics are rubbish - did you know 84% of statistics are made up on the spot?
