Quote
Public agencies are very keen on amassing statistics - they collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But what you must never forget is that every one of those figures comes in the first instance from the village watchman, who just puts down what he damn pleases. -
Sir Josiah Stamp, Head of the UK Inland Revenue Dept, around 1900
