How I Grew Up Seeing the United States

By Daniel Miessler on July 3rd, 2008: Tagged as Culture

This really is how I was raised to look at the rest of the country. It wasn’t that I was specifically told this, but this is the image that formed in my mind. It’s hilarious how accurate it is.

Ok, so now onto my second home — the Bible Belt. Here’s a graph of tooth loss by state. Can you find the most religious areas?

Uncanny.

The site that made this graph, by the way, is incredible. It’s called StateMaster. It has tons of data on crime, education, geography, and almost anything else you can think of, organized by state — and it creates flash-based maps and charts for you. Very cool stuff.

Cool site and all, but you have to wonder how accurate the data is. I mean, StateMaster uses Wikipedia as it’s source on some of these results. Wikipedia? C’mon.

On one graph I saw that the “National Coalition Against the Death Penalty” was the source. So you can imagine which way the graph leaned.

Statistics can be manipulated any way you want to show almost outcome you desire. That’s why it’s even more imperative in this instant-access world to not just believe every little stat that is presented to you on the Internet.

Jonathan is right. It’s a pretty well-known fact among those who study this stuff that 74 percent of statistics found on the internet are simply made up.

@simonsarris Can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not.
Is Trojan really a good name for a condom company? The original was let in trustingly, released its dangerous payload, and chaos ensued.
