Estimation or guestimation? (5)
-------------------------------

Howard Lyons point is well taken and certainly accepted.

Perhaps one component of the issue of accurate country statis-
tics, which could be addressed relates to UN agencies and other 
donors which often report different statistics about the same 
country - for the same span of time.

Those who read the various statistics can easily be confused 
and wonder whose statistics are to be believed.

For example if WHO, UNICEF and UNDP could agree on a set of 
statistics in a country for a given point in time, confusion 
about accuracy might decrease - to everyone's benefit.
