They both depend highly on statistics.
The problem with too much dependency on statistics are conflicting statistics.
Last week on the boob tube a boober stated that when Social Security when it was conceived life expectancy was only 65 and now it's 78. something. This was stated for the need to curb the entitlement know as Social Security. The true statistic is that life expectancy since 1938 for people hitting the age of 65 is only 4 years not the 13 years as this boob implied.
In this present day of watching and listening to baseball statics are becoming more and more important.
How many times do you hear a pundit state a certain pitcher is on a roll, he had a 1.9 ERA and he be hard to beat in the playoffs. The more important statistic might be how did this pitcher do in April when it's almost as cold as Oct when he can't be as limber.
*boober = (made up word) some one who uses misinformation to prove a point. May be smart and is trying to get over on persons that he feels aren't very bright , boobs (Ted Cruz?).
A not to bright person (boob) who proves it over and over again by stating misguided facts.
