    Not gonna lie sounds like a skill issue.

    There are do many situations where it’s either statistics or just vibes/gut feeling. And I’d prefer it to be statistics if it’s remotely important.

    Of course there is plenty nonsense one can do with statistics and statistics without transparent methodology are a great way to hide lies.

      Hey, in the end I got 28/30, I didn’t just barely pass the exam. It just sucks because I don’t like it and don’t want to study or know about it. Also there is a lot of gut feelings involved in statistics. Don’t pretend it’s like an exact science or something. You make your calculations and it spits out a number and you go like “hmmmm I do not vibe with this number. This stuff feels more important so I want a better number” the calculations themselves involve a lot of “hmm this data feels like it benefits from this approach”
