(In the interests of full disclosure, I removed a bunch of results for things such as "9 out of 10 statistics are made up" which generated artificial hits for lower numbers (10 in this example).)I think the graph speaks for itself: most people think most statistics are made up. A couple of bonus (not entirely made up) stats are that the modal hit was "87% of statistics are made up", and the mean hit was "74.8% of statistics are made up". So next time someone tells you an alarming statistic don't worry, three-quarters of the time it will have just been made up. Possibly.
