re: #95 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Gonna be worse, from what I’ve heard. Seems some numbers have been… uh… how do I say it… under-reported?

That’s now called “differently-reported”. Joking aside, it’s often not important that government stats measure their subject with high accuracy, as long as the measurements are made consistently through time. (Used to say “It’s OK if the number is wrong, as long as it’s wrong the same way every time.”)
