So important especially currently in times of hardly understood news reports and widely different interpretations of research results. Everything in this book comes back to two core questions:
1. Who is telling the story?
2. What are they trying to sell you? (Like actual goods, convictions or something else?

Armed with that, the ability to correctly read diagrams, and a basic ability to approximate numbers, both skills which are also taught in this book, I'm sure everyone can interpret stories correctly and call bullsh*t on anything that doesn't pan out.
If you want to, that is.
Passively believing a story is always easier, and sometimes I just don't care whether a glass of wine is good for [insert medical condition], I just want to drink it.
