Statistics traps
Many times we have spoken here of what they are traps and manipulated statistics, especially when we talk about prices. But this is not new, until I knew that Homer Simpson once said: 
"Oh Kent, people would invent such statistics to prove anything, and that only knows what 14% of the people."
Although statistics from time to time we can give something curious, for example:

- This is a misleading
- This is an impractical
