> It's possible to use rigorously sound statistics to lie (or at least unknowingly spread falsehoods)

The book "How to lie with statistics" is one of the best statistics textbooks that I have read. It basically makes you immune to misleading stats (charts, tables, everything).

IIRC, the only thing that is missing from the book (it's a really old book) which is very relevant is p-hacking.
