[edit] Twisted statistics
Huff talks less about errors made during the research itself, than about the countless ways advertisers and politicians twist the statistics after they've been gathered.
Hm, maybe I should mention that in the article. --Uncle Ed 20:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but he does touch on errors made during research; e.g., he discusses the problem of response rate in surveys and the problem of comparing apples to oranges when talking about whether a survey of Yale graduates' income can be compared to the Census Bureau's average income of all Americans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.104.37.17 (talk) 21:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
