can you make an example that i'm not thinking of?
I was more implying statistics, because that is true, you can basically plug in any numbers and get any result you want if you manipulate them enough.
It was more just a lame attempt at a joke than anything, you win, i lose.
In these cases, the math is correct. It's the idiot manipulating the numbers by making assumptions or only using information they perceive to be correct that is wrong.
Math onto itself can't be incorrect. However, the person can use it incorrectly.
Anything built on faith, cannot be concrete.
