When are Facts Most Useful
I believe that the facts that are most useful are one's that relate to the central topic and help provide coherent data. I think that facts and statistics can be helpful for any topic, but should be used so that listeners can connect the facts and statistical data to the main topic. If the facts or statics are not relateable nor understandable, that makes the data useless. In using graphs for a statistical data, I do think that they should be clear and straight to the point. The worst type of data or statistical graphs are those that are clearly illegible. Meaning, they do not provide enough detail to allow the listeners to comprehend there data. Data can only be helpful if it is understood. It does help prove the point accurately but requires that the speaker display t in a presentable format. The data that is not adequate is confusing ultimately leaving the audience more indifferent. Hopefully my data will not only support my information, but provide enough statistical information about my topic making it fun and exciting to hear.

I totally agree with what you are saying. Facts and statistics are best when they are used to support the central topic. The best point you made is that if facts and data are not coherent or if they do not relate to the topic very much then they are useless. Also, graphs that are not legible or are not labeled clearly are useless. Another point is that facts and stats such as numbers can be over used. When they are overused then the audience can get bored and a bored audience is never a good thing. It is best to use numbers only when you need to. When some people hear numbers, they can easily get confused and that is also not a good thing.
