yes, but it is then proven by statistics...

Statistics are always wrong.

Statistics prove theories. Calling statistics wrong is calling reality wrong.
Ex) You are going to die, given the stats. But you say that is wrong, so you will live forever I guess.

Statistics prove nothing. You can only make meaningful statements about your locality.

I probably will live forever, given the rate of technological development, over the next 20-40 years there very well may be a breakthrough in life extension. There's already plenty of life-replenishing technology out there that's not known to most people. There are also causes of aging that I have researched. So I could live forever. But then again, that's what Robert Anton Wilson said, and he's dead.
See the over-arching point I'm making? Reality changes. And it changes a lot more than we suppose.

You know everyone dies because it's your experience. The UN hasn't released any polls "People who die eventually as apposed to those who live forever". lol I love how you people make these outrageous metaphors. They are quite entertaining, granted.

Statistics of an environment you have within your perceptual range at all times during the experiment is accurate statistics... as far as Quantum Psychology allows.
So statistics of something that is infinately larger than your perceptual range is increasing the likelihood of them being wrong. Especially since you usually get these statistics from someone else, another factor that lessens the likelihood of the accuracy of these statistics.

There's no such thing as the masses. Although there are liars, people with secrets, and people who change their mind/condition.

Example: I pointed out an increase of domestic violence. I was asked for statistics.
When's the last time you heard of someone who was being abused mentally, physically, or sexually, who then went to a crisis center or police? Many people hide this, some even from their closest friends.
My perception tells me it's increased, because it's my job to talk to people. I'm a psychologist. And if anyone knows the psychic weather I think it'd be a psychologist.
