This attempt to glean meaning from statistics is just barely science. Does the correlation imply a cause and effect? Have all other possible causes been accounted for? Can they possibly be accounted for?

And how is the typical person supposed to use the statistical information to aid in his/her decision making process? This is never explained to people. The data is just dumped on their heads as if this is doing them a favor.
