      Is anyone willing to defend Professor Spiegelhalter's claim? If not: 1. Why is it on a Royal Statistical Society website? 2. Why is it on a press regulator's website? 3. What has the Society done to rectify wrong impressions among journalists and the public?pic.twitter.com/vlHelqUqE2

      The Royal Statistical Society has spread further misinformation: "we have received some criticism for *reporting* the World Bank figures." The criticism was in fact largely of the Society's claims, and discrimination against people in poor countries. https://www.statslife.org.uk/features/4109-debates-prompted-by-our-2018-stats-of-the-year …pic.twitter.com/qQacICYAN3

      The Society seems not to have addressed a key problem: the damaging effect of misinformation of this kind on politics, policy choices and voters' perceptions of the success of governments. It should be obvious that this risks lives.

      Replying to @mattberkley @sanjaygreddy and

      A major problem for some official claims on human progress is the insistence that a) the data exist, and at the same time b) the data do not exist. This is in addition to the other lunacy, that the concepts are inadequate but it is adequate to use the misleading words anyway.pic.twitter.com/X1WhNWy8P5
