statistical unicorn

The term for an event, happening or situation that's commonly accepted to be true, but actually exists infrequently or not at all.

Politicians spend a lot of time arguing about how tax hikes will ruin small business owners, but the increases only apply to those making over $250,000/year and the median amount an owner of a small employing business draws from his/her firm in a year is about $72,500. In fact, 6 percent earn less than $12,500 and only 5 percent earn $250,000 or more.

Therefore, small business owners affected by this issue are statistical unicorns.

Woke Statistics

When math authors use statistical diagrams like bar charts and pie charts to depict politically incorrect information that directly or indirectly point to centuries-long systemic white racism or supremacism in the nation, which has deprived millions of nonwhites of the educational and career opportunities their white counterparts were afforded with for a few generations.

Recently, a number of red states in the United States have rejected a few dozen math textbooks that allegedly contain woke statistics questions aimed at indoctrinating grades 1–5 students.
