bitterkenny is correct. Surveys can be loaded or 'skewed'to yield a desired statistic or data from a correctly administered survey can be manipulated to 'indicated' a causal/effect relationship. Correlation statistics are typically misused either through ignorance on interpretting data or through deceptive presentation of Dara. Such as the firearms confiscation Down Under. The violent crime being committed with contact weapons or sheer force is because "of the estimated weapons still out there". And people accept that.
