>Yeah, so insane to trust your experience over official statistics...

Why would these be in conflict unless you take your personal experience and draw a conclusion beyond that?

>After all nothing is more trustworthy than statistics. They should never be conflated with lies or damned lies.

Why can't I trust statistics if they are sometimes lies?

Common cold and UTI completely contradict you.

You shouldn't trust your perception, and shouldn't trust statistics. You should question both.

No. What you should do is not apply trust in a binary matter.

My personal perception can be right as well as statistics the issue is when I use my own limited experience to generalize.
