Here's a scenario:
Two guys at a company get raises. One gets a 20% raise, the other gets a 15% raise. Which would you rather be?
Using your out-of-context utilization of statistics, I'd much rather be the guy making $20,000/year and getting a 20% pay raise to $24,000/year; than the guy making $200,000/year and only getting a measly pay raise of 15% to $230,000/year.
Statistics without context are meaningless.
You're arguing that the person saving $1k made out far better than the person who saved $11.5k.
In reality, they call this nonsense.
