I disagree with you both, you're both too extreme. Statistical methods are very reliable, but if mistakes are made and bias is present, then they aren't in those instances. Think of them like a piece of gum; most of the time, it is used nicely for chewing, but sometimes it is misused and put under someone's desk. So I revert to what I saying here, with all due respect, which I sense is inadequate among some of you.
Yes, my view of statistics is extreme. I admit that.
