I hate it when you get all excited because someone has posted in loads of interesting topics to find out that it is all SPAM. Sigh.

Statisticians, are they real people?

Referring to an earlier post about vegetarianism and cancer statistics. If it is said that being a vegetarian reduces your cancer risk by half, but in actual numbers represents a change from 2 in a million to 1 in a million, is this a strong argument in favour of vegetarianism?

I think not. Although such stats ('cut risk' by half') rather than cold hard numbers may be useful for encouraging people to at least think in the right direction, it is often overused by exploitative newspeople - you can stand these people with the statisticians up against the wall.

Even in mildly complex systems, any outcome is the wrong thing to target, with the process being where the focus should be.
