It’s a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what.

-Dr House

House often didn’t see his patients so they wouldn’t have a chance to lie to him. People lie, data doesn’t.

The same is true with analytics. Designers, developers and owners lie, statistics don’t. People have ulterior motivations and egos, numbers don’t.
