We already knew that model/cookbook author Chrissy Teigen is really good at Twitter. We recently learned that, delightfully, she is also good at spotting misrepresented statistics.
This came to light when she asked for help understanding the whole Jacob Wohl Debacle. She asked her Twitter followers for a clear, quick explanation of the whole deal.
She didn't even @ Jacob, but Jacob got snippy and replied back with Google Trends data (how have I not blogged about Google Trends yet?) in an attempt to use data, beautiful data, in order to own Chrissy.
Yes, her sweet burn is an inspiration to us all, but it also a good demonstration of that fact that the exact same data can be interpreted in two different ways. And jerks lie with data, too, and can lie with actual, truthful data. And Chrissy knows her way around a chart.

And Chrissy was having none of it.
