    Screaming, huh? It seems an odd interpretation. To me it still looks only like a casual observation, of the kind one might be expected to make in a discussion thread about a news article on the Internet. It did not seem out of place or even all that remarkable. I did not feel moved to attempt the kind of more in-depth consideration and analysis that would justify the effort of directing a message specifically to the official statistics agency of Europe about it.

    Anyway, to the extent that the message about being careful in interpreting statistics is important and needs to be heard, readers need to hear it as much as reporters.

      Obviously I didn’t mean literally screaming, you just said that you hoped that someone responsible would notice, I only commented that maybe that same effort would be better directed straight into the eyeballs of the people who are doing this.

      You are of course free to write your criticism anywhere and in any way you choose.
