Geneva debate spotlights 'indicatorism' in political numbers

Original: “In Geneva, this was once called indicatorism: the art of placing a number so that nobody notices — and if they do, too

A Geneva-based commentary has revived the notion of 'indicatorism' — described as the art of placing a number so that nobody notices it, and by the time they do, it is too late. The piece frames the practice as a political and journalistic concern, drawing attention to how statistics can be strategically positioned to obscure decisions from public scrutiny.

Why now: Renewed attention to how governments and institutions use selective statistics to avoid public scrutiny.
