== Twisted statistics ==
Huff talks less about errors made during the research itself, than about the countless ways advertisers and politicians twist the statistics after they've been gathered.
 
Hm, maybe I should mention that in the article. --[[User:Ed Poor|Uncle Ed]] 20:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 
: Yes, but he does touch on errors made during research; e.g., he discusses the problem of response rate in surveys and the problem of comparing apples to oranges when talking about whether a survey of Yale graduates' income can be compared to the Census Bureau's average income of all Americans. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/155.104.37.17|155.104.37.17]] ([[User talk:155.104.37.17|talk]]) 21:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Edit ==
I added the chapter names, info about the illustrator and a bit more about the book and its success
 
== Still a Stub ==
 
This article has been tagged a stub for a long time. Is there anything else to add or to expand? 12:47, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
: It could have more on critical reaction, follow-up, that sort of thing ... but I agree, it is no longer a "stub" (which implies that basic material is missing). - [[User:DavidWBrooks|DavidWBrooks]] ([[User talk:DavidWBrooks|talk]]) 12:49, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
