I have a background in statistics, and I see people all the time who just toss out numbers to back up their opinions without any thought to the scientific method. I think that most people get as far as "what do I want find out?" but then they veer off track because the next implied question is "Do I really want to know the answer or am I just looking to back up what I already believe?" and most people do have problems getting past their emotional involvement to their question and can't move forward objectively.
