Statistics is obviously useful information and widely used in almost every field. In addition, due to developing technology, statistics becomes more accurate than ever before. However, when you read an article supported by statistics, you need to consider statistics critically because it can be intentionally translated to support the writer’s argument. For example, if writer has negative opinion about “G20 summit”, they might use a number of statistics that focuses on negative effects in order to support their idea. It is true that statistics does not tell a lie but there are a huge number of statistics which can be selected by what an author asserts.
Is the developing technology not also a cause of falsified statistics? Actually I think they are unfortunately really common...
