You know what they say Kit - "If it's on the Internet, it must be true!"

Lies, dammed lies and the Internet  :-\

Lies, damned lies, statistics, and the Internet :wacko:

I'll have you know sir that I worked with statistics for nigh on 40 years and never once did we tell fibs  ;D   All depends on the story you want to tell and thus the period of time you cover  :angel:

From what little I know about those two characters, isn't that kind of their normal condition?

I think that figure is a tad or so (a statistical term, a tad is a fractional increase above a bit and not quite so much as a few) although when the figures wern't available I have to admit I did extrapolate the missing ones from lnown data, or possibly what seemed reasonable at the time. I think the technical term is "guesswork" ?  :angel:

I prefer "guesstimate", sounds slightly more professional.  :wacko:
