… And Then There's Statistics

The Toronto Star reports ( http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/688426 ) on a drop in recorded figures on a stretch of highway.

The truth is foggy.

It may well be that "Construction in the area has likely had an effect on [the drop in] those numbers."

Look again!

The numeric quantifiers quoted are of "552 collisions with injuries" over a ten-year period between 1996 and 2006.

Could air-bags have had anything to do with it?

I mean, of course, aside from the politicians.
