I overheard a conversation on the train today. One memorable quote was,
“Science shouldn’t mess with things. Especially things that we want pretty.”
While listening, I couldn’t help but reflect on people tendency to pull out unverifiable statistics to try and prove their point. I think I’ve even done it in the past. Sometimes I think our imaginations get the better of us.
Edit: This is actually from Saturday but I wasn’t able to post until today. I assumed that it would have saved the creation date and not the ‘post’ date. I should have known better.
the nice thing is, I have so many verified stats in my head, I can pull out fake ones and 80% of people can’t tell the difference! 😉
