Funny but Bill sounds oddly like me. I have been saying all along that the data is a joke. What I find interesting is how an individuals bias impacts their interpretation of information. Another poster had a term for it but it’s escaping me right now.

It reminds me of an old joke.

A guy walks into his CPA and asks him what does 1+1=? The CPA walks over to the window, lowers the shade and says “Whatever you want it to!”

Use caution in interpreting any data…that which you don’t agree with as well as that which you do agree with.
