Ah, the wonders of the post-Internet society

[feotakahari]

I used to argue a lot with a scary hardcore Christian who was also a Platonist and a monarchist. He once tried to convince me that gay men shouldn't be allowed to adopt children because bottle-fed babies have lower IQs on average than breast-fed babies. When I questioned the validity of the study he was citing, he said something that's always stuck with me. "You are entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts."

That's one of the most untrue things you can say these days.

Do guns save lives? Will guns just get you killed? Here are my statistics proving one thing! Here are my statistics proving the other! No, your statistics are biased! No, your statistics have a sampling error! No, you! No, you!

I think you can find the actual truth on at least some of these. (I found my answers on global warming when I noticed that professional climatologists were saying one thing, and the folks who were saying the opposite were geologists and botanists and such.) But good luck trying to prove that to anyone who doesn't already share your views. Your statistics can be your foundation, but they can just as easily be your wall--or perhaps your dam, preventing the flow of any information contradictory to what you want to believe.

(And no, I'm not taking a side in this stupid argument. I don't know enough about which stats are credible.)
