The book "how to lie with statistics" (1954) was written before tags like /s were invented. Referencing "how to lie with statistics" is an indicator that the author is trying to avoid common pitfalls in statistical reasoning.

I own an inherited blue Pelican paperbook copy from my pharmacist grandfather.
