Anything can, but like everything, if you don't know the rules of math it wouldn't make sense. But at the same time, even math is complicated. And there are absolutes somewhere. Like we know 2+2=4. Who knows if it's actually 5.

You can use or maybe manipulate statistics to lie but number and math as is generally made so it's error correctable by people.

No, the rules are set and can't be changed. Similar to the laws of physics.

Yes, and sometimes you want to manipulate an equation to solve it!

There is a saying. "Figures don't lie, but Lyre's figure!"
The way the past year has been, you can hardly believe anything you hear!

Of course
