Re: Statistics
"As Mark Twain wrote "There are lies, damned lies and statistics""
Let's not tarnish the good name of statistics by suggesting that they are the issue here - we have been told that this system is 70% accurate for something but we have no idea what that something is.
If, in 5 years, when millions have been spent on this system, we find out that "70% accurate" describing the installers ability to point them at an area of interest that Scotland Yard had provided, I won't be entirely surprised.
Or is 70% the rate at which Chinese authorities have been able to extract organs from "criminals" identified by the system?
