EU brown envelopes

Parts of the UK will have 24% or more Muslim population. A person from Bradford would likely estimate the figure higher that a person from St Ives.

That's what perception does. People actually form strong opinions and make important decisions based upon perception alone.

I know but in the case of that figure, if you lived in Bradford your perception is right. The fact that places like St Ives may pull down the national average doesn’t change Bradford.

I agree. A bit like voting in a Tory government.

However, most are surprised when the see the real (factual) figures.

 

[Brigadier]

What practical value is the nationwide "real" figure, if you don't leave Bradford?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

The value of truth and factual accuracy - something whose importance cannot be overstated.

 

[Brigadier]

That's why I used the word "practical".

It is factually accurate that it is currently raining outside but, as I am sitting on my sofa with no urgent intention of going anywhere, it is of no practical value to me.

Great movie

Why "real" in quotes for emphasis?

 

[SirGalahad]

The only real value to the issue is that when you model actors do you observe they have complete data, if they have bias, their ability to comprehend such data.

So you are using projected figures for the future, to prove a point of time that is now in the past.

Really?

Really?

2018 is not yet "in the past". And certainly historical data is not yet available for 2018.
Thus projected figures for 2018 are the only reliable figures so far.

Not true.
