To quote my statistics professor "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." I often find this true.

Statistical data can often be completely true, but gathered in a way that is deceptive.

They can say that 100% percent of all men interviewed were wearing white shirts. However, they can skew the data by only interviewing men that were already wearing white shirts, and ignoring all of those in red. It would be true that all the men they interviewed were wearing white, but deceptive because they intentionally made the data fit what they wanted it to be.

The example is overly simplified, but skewing data for statistics is not that uncommon of a practice.
