Source of your statistics?  I believe in Mark Twain's quote on statistics.  

I regularly find imprecise, inaccurate, out-of-date  and just plain invented statistics here on the R-G sites.  

Fox 'statistics' seldom match New York Times 'statistics', for example.  The faux news bloggers post all sorts of nonsense and claim them to be 'statistics'. 

 Our own B.Carfree constantly provides non-existent statistics.  I then regularly publish ODOT, NTSB or similar statistics and he wanders off until the next time.  (Latest example was his assertion that Eugene had a pedestrian/bicycle death rate "3 times the National average'.  Totally wrong per ODOT.  Both Oregon and National are at about a 12% death rate.)

Then I find and post my statistics with their source so my figures can be verified or found to be wrong independent of my opinion(s).
