		ebbv on Dec 17, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Hans Rosling doesn’t consider himself an optimist ... I just explained that. He misrepresents the data by presenting it as an either or (either we fight climate change OR we fight poverty) when it isn't. That misrepresentation distorts how you interpret all the data in his talk. I'm not interested in nit picking back and forth. Go defend Rosling to someone else.

I have no idea who Rosling is. That's just not what "misrepresent data" means.

But that's not a data misrepresentation. It's a paradigm misrepresentation.
