okay, but still, why ? Statistics aren't reliable for they can state anything.

What you're showing here is a very typical fundamental misunderstanding of what statistics is. It's not that they can "state anything", it's that everything they state comes with a confidence interval, so they are -probabilistically- very reliable actually.
Hu, i meant, you can make statistics "state" anything you want is you twist them right.

BUT STILL, WHY ARE WE DYIN YOUNGER IFF SEATED OFTEN ?
