Ironically, I re-viewed an older (2017) TedTalk about how to spot bad statistics. Of course, the posted article is more about marketing claims than actual stats. :p I'm just happy that I don't need any "professional" computer. At 80, I may never buy another Mac. My current model was also built in "2017"! :dntknw: :doh: :whistling:

Two comments about statistics:

1. From Mark Twain: There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
2. 86.3% of statistics are made up.
