Statistics are crazy important, in a wide array if industries. People proficient at them make good money, and are highly sought after.

Except when they're used by the media, where they are routinely misleading or otherwise incorrect.

Yes statistics are very constructive intra-industry. When I poo poo stats it's when they're used for macro-economics-politics stuff. A company knowing the gun ownership rate of its clientele is valuable information from which they can derive meaningful things. But good luck deriving meaningful information from gun ownership rates on an international scale.
