Statistical Inception

A formula inside of a formula inside of a formula inside of another formula

Bob: Wow I have to use a stupid formula to find the test statistic for a sample size of n, but in order to do that I have to find SE(y) which is s divided by the square root n and in order to find that I have to find s. But, in order to find s i have to calculate the sample mean...

Jim: Damn that sounds like Statistical Inception!

Statistical Data Theft

It is when a statistician, journalist, article writer, or anyone else steals statistics from a different country and uses it as a substitute (as if it came from their own country, when it originally didn't).

I read an article last night, and I found a lot of statistical data theft that riddles and renders it pointless.
I can't believe that anyone would engage in statistical data theft to make a point, without doing their own research with stats and data that comes from our country.
