44. Arguing about statistics is a losing proposition.

If competing studies say that "Bad thing X" happens to;
a) 1% of people
b) 1.5% of people
c) 1.9% of people
d) 25% of people

Those invested in the magnitude of the problem naturally gravitate toward study D, and attempt to discredit the authors of studies A, B and C as deniers.

The authors of A, B and C don't like being called deniers, so they change the definitions they used for "bad thing X" in subsequent studies to prove their sensitivity. Thus "rape" becomes having sex with a partner who has been drinking or with whom you have threatened to break up.

The downside of this, of course is that when common things become redefined as rape, it becomes trivialized.
