Re: [gatortalk] Is it really that bad?...

Numbers don't lie, but people lie with numbers every day, my friend. A number itself, of course, cannot tell a truth or a lie, but the way numbers are selected, collected and displayed tells a story that always reflects decisions made by the teller. For example, you have chosen numbers that reflect an upward trend to tell a particular story. If I choose these numbers -- 65, 36, 21 -- which are our points scored in each game this season, in order, then I do not see an upward trend. My numbers do not lie either, but they tell a very different story.
