Everything is numbers and statistics, all subject to noble cause corruption and duly corrupted. What is the actual rate of inflation, approval or disapproval of public figures and parties, gross domestic product, consumer sentiment or temperature of the earth? All the numbers are massaged like Kobe beef to support a narrative. COVID should have taught us not to trust experts flashing statistics - if global temperature follies hadn't already.
How bad is it? Democrat pollsters got their numbers wrong in 2024 because they bent them to fit their narrative. Republicans got the numbers right - but was that because their techniques were better, more honest (not the same thing), or the way they bent their numbers to fit happened to fit reality?
Pilate asked, "What is truth?" Truth is what happens. All else is commentary.
