A comment on Talk: Hans Rosling: Let my dataset change your mindset
What I am surprised about mostly in the comments of the viewers here, is the lack of understanding for the fact that up to date date, controlable, objective and accurate data are of practically no influence on the formation of opinion for the majority of people in this world. Not with the intention to offend anyone or insult, I dare to say that the large majority of people take life changing decisions on based on information from unreliable sources. And most people take ALL information they get for granted depending on HOW it is presented and not by checking it's source. Publicity is the best example of that. How many people really believe they'll get product x cheaper when they are being told so by a slick sales person on a television add? If that goes for this, it also goes for other information. People don't check sources, and don't re-evaluate information they receive.
