* Perhaps an analogy will serve to make this clear. Suppose that a certain quantity of some foodstuff is consumed by 1/10 head of population. The false inference would be that a population is possible which has 1/10 heads! In the same way the statistics may be quite correct in arriving at the figure 1/6 suicides, but if we leave the realms of calculation, then the 1/6 suicide loses its meaning entirely.
