Of course I'd be skeptical of their proof.  If the Republicans came out 
with proof that Democrats suck, I'd be skeptical.  When a commercial 
says "we are proven to have the best rates" I'm skeptical. 

"Statistics can be used to prove anything - 53% of all people know that"

Statistics can be skewed, important numbers can be ignored, numbers can 
be used to prove different things if used cleverly, and an experiment 
can be designed in such a way to favor one side (a bias).  That's why, 
for an experiment involving statistics, I want to see a neutral party 
finding the results.

But that's just me.  That's no more than an argument against the theory.
