Calling Bullshit Quotes

“To tell an honest story it is not enough for numbers to be correct. They need to be placed in an appropriate context so that a reader or listener can properly interpret them.

“Spotting bullshit is a private activity. Calling bullshit is a public one. If you can bullshit you can keep yourself safe from its effects. If you can call bullshit you can protect your entire community.”
