Talk:if you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything

Etymology wrong?
I think this doesn't come from Huff. I can't find the word "torture" in any of the digitized copies of the book on the Internet Archive or Google Books. Wikiquote says it comes from Ronald Coates in 1981, though he said he was saying it in the 1960s. --Joecipsurprise (talk) 22:20, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

 * In May 2015. This isn't a phrase I've ever used myself and I don't recall where I got that information. Feel free to fix it if it seems wrong. Equinox ◑ 06:01, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
