99% of the time, I make up statistics
But do you put work into the fake?
I like to invent P-values and fabricate not only participants, but their consent waivers. I sprinkle around terms like Tasseled Cap, Eigenvector, ANOVA, MLR, Covariance Matrices, etc.
Some people make up stuff because they're lazy. When my lies are complete, it would have been just as easy to do the actual work because I'm in it for the love of the game.
I do what most people say when they say "99%". It's still bullshitting. 🙃
