Deeps Comments :Statistics and Surveys

False Statistics Statistics reports are a great way to establish your point. The more references to statistic , more the statement looks authentic. But most of the people just getaway with a made up statistic. You can also notice that the survey reports will be always in favour of the person presenting it or the company sponsoring it.


Here are a few ways to make your statistic look credible


  1. Domino reference method : Refer to something that refers to something that refers to ...etc..

  2. Claim that the survey was conducted by some big shot company

  3. Add decimal points. For eg: "Almost 83.45% of the people will like this point."

  4. Cross reference: A refers to B. B refers to A.

  5. But the most important of all is speak with so much confidence as if it was nothing but the truth.

I am sure that almost 98% of you will agree to the above conclusion.
