@inthehands Shit, we can't even get the paper to stop reporting percentage changes without any basis. I can't count the number of times WaPo has published stories about a percentage increase in crime on the Metro without any indication of how many crimes there were before or after, much less a context of how many rides there are a day.
Up 43% in daily incidents! Ok.... from 20 crimes or 200,000? Compared to how many trips?
It boggles my mind that people leave j-school so innumerate.
