Lies, damned lies and statistics

I am currently working on my TOK presentation, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on the following quote:

 

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.†- Mark Twain 

 

I would love to have some inputs on that one! :-) 

 

As I always recommend, start off with definitions. What are lies? Lies are perceived different by different people so how do you perceive lies? Also perhaps delve into sarcasm and the use of language as a way of knowing and communicating.

 

Hope this helps!
