I think it was Mark Twain (I could be wrong) that said "there are three types of lies; Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics". That is how my elementary statistics professor started off our classes, anyway. He just wanted us to know that statistics were able to be manipulated and that we would be working on ways to NOT present false 'facts' from accurate statistics. Or he could have been teaching us TO manipulate the statistics, I forget after all this time.
So I agree, the stats are completely skewed.
