Much of today's economic data, time series officially collected and produced, are highly unreliable. Statisticians employ well-documented techniques such as geometric smoothing, seasonal adjustments, substitution, double counting, and hedonic to adjust economic outcomes as far back as the 1980s. Politicians and central bankers use these techniques for political gain.
Data massaged by statistical techniques (tricks) are revised when nobody is looking, or Administrations or public policies change.

The 2×4 of knowledge, not us, does the bulk of the teaching in the real world. Sometimes we wonder why we publish anything. Thank the Lord for curious subscribers. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it's going to save your arse.
Here's the trouble. People seeing what they believe is the reason history repeats, and the majority gets caught holding the bag.
