"Demography is a subset of sociology, which is in turn a subset of psychology. Any student of psychology can attest to its shakiness and constant state of flux. I love reading marketing dialogues, replete as they are with incognito conjecture and dressed up opinions. The best ones come with graphs, charts . . . some sort of visual representation of vastly skewed data. Pie charts are great for statistical cherry picking: Pac-Man versus the pie wedge."
