Benjamin Disraeli states, "There are three categories of falsehoods: lies, damned lies, and statistics," suggesting that statistics could be just as misleading as lies. In his book Damned Lies and Statistics, Joel Best warns against misinterpreting, twisting, or abusing statistics (Garner, 2013). Most people believe statistics to be true because they are based on numerical data, which suggests that information has been evaluated by empirical methods. On the other hand, some people use the statistics to their advantage to gain an advantage (Garner, 2013). The film "Who's Counting?" illustrates Disraeli's theory by pointing out how a nation's GDP can be misleading. The global economic system indicates that a country's well-being is improving when its GDP grows (Nash, 2013). That is untrue, and that number shouldn't be used to gauge a nation's level of prosperity. The economist who created GDP, Simon Kuznets, even advised against using GDP as a gauge of human well-being because it is dependent on a number of factors that GDP does not capture (Nahman, Mahumani
