Interpreting Statistics
=======================

1. Observe your feelings.
2. Understand the claim:
   - what does it mean?
   - is this a causal relationship?
   - what's being left out?
3. Get the backstory.
4. Put things in perspective:
   - is this a big number?
   - what is the historical trend?
   - beware 'statistical significance'
5. Embrace imprecision.
6. Be curious:
   - go another click
   - treat surprises as a mystery
