We once did an exercise in a statistics course that showed that smokers have a LOWER incidence of lung cancer than the average population. I can't remember what factor we massaged to make it happen like that, but it was pretty funny and showed how easy it is to make numbers say whatever you want them to say. Basically "The numbers can't lie!" is wrong. The numbers lie all the time.
