Numbers are the root of everything. Without them we would be lost. Yet they can mean anything if you manipulate them right. For example. I can truthfully say that in Jefferson county Texas Heart Disease kills more people them in Austin county Texas according to the TXHD Deaths ICD-10.

Now if I was a Real Estate agent in Austin County and wanted to get people from Jefferson county to move to my county. I could make a whole campaign about how living in Austin county you may be less likely to die of Heart Disease. Is this true? Well according to the numbers more people die of heart Disease in Jefferson county then in Austin county. You see number can be manipulated to make just about anything seem true.

So the next time that you read something like this look for the words like "may". May is a HUGH 3 letter word. As long as I say may and I have numbers to back me up we assume that its true. As you know when you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME.
