Stats don't always tell us what we believe.
Stats aren't here to agree with our preconceived ideas. They are just facts. Have your opinions all you want, but if the data doesn't support your opinions, maybe investigate those opinions.
data isn't here to support or descent what we believe. It's just data.
It's like having your checking account, and thinking you have x amount of money, then checking online and seeing it say 'y'
It's good to keep data.
