Study: Americans Are Suckers For Graphs And Charts

New research proves “Americans… are perfectly happy to agree with whatever you tell them, as long as there’s a chart accompanying your statement,” Bloomberg Business Week reports.

Here’s how the subjects were tested: “… [R]esearchers … showed study participants different versions of a description of a cold medicine. Of the group that saw the description with an effectively useless chart, 97 percent believed the medicine was efficient, compared to 68 percent of the group that read only words, with no graphic.” What’s more, people claiming to “believe in science” were more likely to fall for the fake chart.

Dummies!

Of course, you can see where this leads … a whole bunch of people who believe scientists just because they have temperature charts showing the climate is getting warmer! Gullible fools! If you want to know what’s really going on, you’ve gotta Roger Rabbit icontalk to Duck Dynasty.
