The attempt to sound intelligent through the use of meaningless statistics that you yourself do not understand. This trait is most often observed in politicians, sportscasters and law school students.

Anyone holding the paradoxical belief that people are more competent to govern each other than they are to make individual choices.
"They either want a war on drugs or a war on guns or a war on speech or a war on business. Stupid statists."
