The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.

Stalin was a lovely guy,
He let 42 million people die.
In case you wonder why,
He said it was 'just a statistic'.

to treat me as a non-person.
i will not allow that.
i am not an 'it', or a statistic,
i am a man!

I could prove God statistically. Take the human body alone - the chances that all the functions of an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity.
