Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Ah, but then we're not comparing apples with apples. And unless you're
reading carefully (as you are), then the reader won't see that.

Which is a neat trick if it's your intention, and oft-used in political
discussions.

Book recommendation:

How to Lie with Statistics, Darrel Huff
Or perhaps more accurately "How to prevent other people from doing it to you."

Cheers
Martin

Subject:  RE: [thelist]  Do women view web pages differently from men?



The words used were "The women found..." and "The men asked..." Not "Women
found..." and "Men found..." I see nothing wrong with her stating what she
observed of The men and The women she worked with.
