you might not be bright enough to post that kind of thing... don't you know there's such a thing as a confidence interval? you might want to familiarize yourself with it... if you don't understand it, ask dick - he'll be glad to help

Jimmy,

 

If you want to make fun of my name, my last name is "Willey" which is another synonym for penis...

 

(Thought that this might come in handy)

 

BTW, don't see why you seem so upset about the confidence interval comment. You act like an idiot a lot. You must have plenty of experience being treated like one.

i'm not upset at all, i appreciate your input... of course as an idiot i'm probably not the best judge of the value of your input... btw, i didn't mean to link your name (or you) to a penis, but it's interesting that you think i was

I generally expect you to be operating at the level of a rather slow 12 year...

The repetitive "dick" comments seemed consistent with this pattern.

 

It is, of course, possible that you were trying to refer to me by name.

In this case, you should capitalize the word "Dick".

(When you use someone's name, you capitalize it)

As entertaining as this is, and believe me it is, could someone take a moment to tell me what the video is about? I'm on partial internet lockdown at work. Thanks!

The top 10 in demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004. India has more people than the USA. Other random facts. Many of them obviously made up. Probably you need to calculate the square root of most of their data to get actual facts.

Yeah, there are currently 3112 comments, this one by superxdenx1 pretty much summarizes it:

 

"did you know that over 18 videos were made about made up facts with pretencious techno music in the backgorund?

for instance a factory that had 1000 employees joined in 1 month does not mean it will have 120000 employees by 2019

oh and the part about the 694,000 songs being downloaded illigally- ye I'm like half of that lol "

 

It may be exaggerated that 80% of all statistics are made up but for those published on youtube I think it would be a conservative estimate.

 

Well the statistics I linked to in the "this car used to belong to" thread said among other plausible things that the average German commits two and a half drug-related offense per year so watch out....

The government are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the chowty dar (village watchman), who just puts down what he damn pleases."

 

Attributed to Josiah Stamp, 1st Baron Stamp (1880-1941), but may have come from his friend Harold Cox, quoting an English judge in India (hence the reference to "chowty dar", which is, I believe, Hindi).
