Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.

Mark Twain

[rusty]

Poor John Adams....
The full quote is/was:

“Facts,” John Adams once said, “are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” That may be true, Mark Twain later wrote, but “statistics are more pliable.”

[Papaw]

You are correct, sir!
