Ich traue tatsächlich keiner Statistik. Ohne Methodik sind Zahlen von geringem Wert. Deshalb ist die Methodik in wissenschaftlichen Dokumentationen so wichtig.
Das unterscheidet sich jedoch grundlegend von der Haltung: "Ich glaube nur an Statistiken, die mein Weltbild bestätigen"

A neoclassical painting of the Oracle of Delphi (the Pythia) seated on a tripod above rising vapors. She wears a deep red robe that drapes over her body and partially covers her head, her expression distant and trance-like. One hand holds a shallow bowl, the other a laurel branch. Wisps of smoke curl around her feet and the base of the tripod, suggesting the intoxicating fumes believed to inspire her prophecies. The dark background isolates her figure, emphasizing the ritual, mystery, and ambiguity of the oracle’s voice.
If the oracle spoke today, would we recognize the truth…
or just the answer we wanted to hear?
