And as far as the one plus one equals two, the problem with that is that four plus negative two also equals two, along with six plus 10 minus fourteen equals two, and an infinite other examples.

You can do whatever calculations you want to get the answer you desire, thus the problem with statistics.

(Don't tell anyone that I use data all the time to prove that teachers aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing with regards to software when their principals ask for the info - just a small bit of hypocracy on my part! )
