OT - Politics wrecks your maths ability shocker

[Earl Grey]

Apparently once your political persuasions start to kick in, your ability to do basic maths starts to fail.

Given a simple problem with a neutral topic like skin care products, people with a modicum of mathematical nous have no problem.

Introduce a more politically edgy topic like gun ownership and suddenly those maths abilities begin to fail.

A cautionary tale for us all to think about...

Thanks for that link. Shame he doesn't want to enter areas of politics and their misuse of stats - for a really eye opening project perhaps he should look at Pompey's old accounts !
