Mark Twain once famously said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics".
Our hosts this week are chatting about this third lie - statistics. With the age of social media now dictating how people access statistical data, are we literate enough to understand what we are reading when it comes to statistics? How does this affect trust in official information more broadly? And in a fallen world, where sin distorts everything, how much can we truly trust human knowledge?
Statistician Alan Brnabic joins Michael and Megan to discuss these questions, and why we need statistics more broadly.
Finally, our hosts cast their eye over Moneyball, a sports film that, against the odds, Megan quite enjoyed.
