If you let me pick the algorithm or the data, I can produce any result you want.

Something to keep in mind when listening to reports of “facts.”

Or as Nietzsche would say:

There are no facts, only interpretations.

There are people who are so naive that they don’t realize interpretations other than their are possible. Avoid them unless you have need of followers for some reason.

I first saw this in a tweet by Chris Arnold.
