Check, Double Check And Discard For Friend Thad

Rating: 5.0


You can prove statistically.
The truth of things which cannot be
proven empirically.
Manipulating carefully
the figures which do not agree.
You seem to prove apparently.
The truth of facts which are untrue.
That is what fanatics do
in their attempts to persuade you.
You must adopt their point of view
but you are foolish if you do.
What can be proved statistically
To me lacks credibility
and can be disproved easily.
Examined analytically
as all statistics ought to be.

Thank you Ivor! ! A swell read! Sometimes facts tend, to get manipulated. Things tend to become, over rated. I don't just adopt someones point of view. Unless analytically - I check them too! ! *10*! ! Friend Thad
