Does that include the ones that don’t understand distribution curves and statistical analysis?

Someone told me that the average person doesn't understand statistics, I think that's mean and that the probability is that he's an out and outlier and prone to making random statements. I have no confidence in him anymore as he's repeated this with some frequency and my hypothesis is that his behaviour isn't normal.

I  always remember that well known statement. "There are lies, damn lies and statistics!!"

11 out of 10 people will grasp at statistics, if they agree with their viewpoint.

I find that statistics can be a bit mean.

Around 80% of statistics are made up anyway..

Only 79.5% of it is. The rest is grasped out of thin air. A lot of facts are from thin air so obviously from high altitude. A mountain of them. Note, "top of the mountain" of them. So don't cave in to it or this thread will be buried...

Typical!   The two items of protective equipment that would actually do him any good, eye and hearing protection, he's not using.  Granted, he is wearing gloves.
