I can prove anything by statistics except the truth.

Summary

This quote highlights the potential misuse or misinterpretation of statistics. While statistics can provide evidence and support for a certain argument or claim, they are not infallible in determining absolute truth. Statistics are dependent on data selection, methodology, and interpretation, which can introduce biases or limitations. Therefore, the quote reminds us that statistics alone cannot guarantee an accurate representation of truth and should be carefully examined and contextualized before drawing definitive conclusions.
