Statstrology

Statstrology was originally coined by Greg Guevara in 2023. It is implicitly derived from the word "Astrology". It is used in reference to when a person interprets data and extracts dubious meaning from it, usually without solid/unironic basis or understanding of it (and/or the data itself is dubious). Essentially, looking at data and seeing what you want to see.
"Look, this guy just came to the conclusion that 85% of goats love carrot cake whilst observing the strong correlation between sea levels and how much money I have in my bank account. He must be really into Statstrology"
