Actually I need no exotic maths on income tax forms, I file no income tax, as according to the government I have no income. But thanks for the offer.

And I think the quote was, "Lies, damned lies, and statistics." But when all you have to study are populations, statistics become very useful. It would be very difficult to list up every American citizen who doesn't pay taxes, much easier to group them as a statistic and a subset. That requires ignoring certain characteristics about them and focusing on other attributes instead.
