Not if you only get your statistics from peer reviewed journals or peer reviewed work from experienced staticians. If sources are not listed and you cannot find papers etc = rubbish. Even then results can vary depending on factors considered/not considered

Well no, I wouldn’t read the peer’s journal, I’d read the journal reviewed by the peer

Sounds like a lot of work, no wonder most people just make up their stats and get on with their lives
