best observation so far…

Students finish reading article about how statistics can be misleading.  The article states thats 100% of people who eat bread die! (eventually of course).

The teacher is trying to draw out a student to say that they didn’t die from eating bread and the statistic is worthless.

T: So what can we say about this?

S1: Bread makes you die

T: But is bread the reason you die?

S2: No, but bread is a gateway!

S1: Yes! Bread is a gateway to crack!  Then you die!

T: No, bread is not a gateway drug to crack….
