The classic attitude of world controllers.

"Because our policies work, your observation of failure is ignorant."

If old statistics tell the wrong story, they reformulate the statistic such that it tells the story they need. They are constitutionally (as in their spiritual constitution) incapable of believing or accepting their human fallibility. Rather than allow reality to influence their decisions, they simply create a different filter to portray a vision of reality which makes it appear they were right all along.

This is the 9-5 grind where evil butters its bread.
