If we had Vecino this season instead of Tom Davies, we would be tied for 5th on the table. Any crazy person want to disagree with that?

Don't think it was Keynes who said this and the correct version is there are 3 kinds of lies.
I would say it's criticising people who use statistics.

No, I'm spot on. That's exactly what I would say it means.
Why don't you enlighten us into exactly what the as yet unidentified originator of this quote actually meant by it and we can see how 'close' I am.

Agree with what you're saying here, but the intent of the quote is probably always going to be capable of individual interpretation. Not really possible to ask the author as we aren't certain who he was and is undoubtedly dead. Annoying.

I always took it as to criticize people who use statistics dishonestly or manipulate them to lie. Not every person using statistics as you've stated. When used honestly they're powerful tools but can be equally powerful and easy to use dishonestly.
