Can't get the joke 6 - statisticians. It goes like "If you laid all the world's statisticians end-to-end, they would still point in every direction." What does it mean?

Statisticians often reach very different answers after studying the same data. This is what the joke means when it says they "point in every direction."

I thought that you would like to know this saying: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." That is why we should be very careful before believing the statistics that we often read about in the newspaper.
