Starting to really enjoy it.
A lot of information to digest but still provides a lot of value. Discusses sampling techniques and how they can be used to manipulate results as well as different types of averages (median, mode and mean) and how they can also be used for the same purposes.
Demonstrated a very important aspect of how IQ measures a biased average towards people with selectively favoured abilities

Something I did not quite like about the book (so far) is the way it presents the concepts.. some sentences are constructed in a weird and confusing way imo.

Done with chapter 1.
The book looks promising and interesting, providing valid reasons not to believe every single statistic we see due to built-in sample biases (as discussed in chapter 1).
