Quote by Hunter S. Thompson
Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they're attached to dollar signs -- unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.
Summary
This quote highlights the common stereotype that publishers, in contrast to journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants, are generally not enthusiastic or diligent when it comes to numbers, unless they have a direct financial implication. It humorously asserts that while journalists constantly analyze and interpret data, quarterbacks rely on statistics for performance evaluation, and felony criminal defendants closely follow numeric evidence in their trials, publishers often prioritize other aspects of their work over numerical analysis.
