Indeed – in fairness to Stats, as an economist I am able to find a lot of good information about shortcomings and scope. The link between the data and having these known for the other people that want to use it is a hard thing though 🙂

And three and four – transparency around the scope, objectives and limitations of (both official and non-official) statistics could be more widely disseminated (there is a huge variance in expected quality between say a Tier 1 statistic and a press initiated political poll), and/or recognition that the capabilities of those using (and/or communicating) statistics to identify and relay those limitations is also a vitally important factor 🙂
