No they arent. Stats are subject to interpretation. You can make up any wild assed rationalization you want with a stat. If you dont believe me tell me why white people are more prone to sexually abuse animals according to the stats?Of course its irrational. Stats are used to make a political point.
No, statistics are an important source to tell if some fear is rational or irrational.
If there are statistics that say the bite of some kind of spiders is deadly, then it would be foolish not to fear this spider.
Can you get my point?
