For a field that loves statistics, computer security sure treats them casually. In order to get my humble BA in Psychology, I absorbed my share of course hours in statistics and testing methods, including a set of lectures based upon Darrell Huff's brilliant book, "How to Lie with Statistics" - which I highly recommend. It's fun easy reading satire - those lectures had the effect of making me hyper-skeptical about any large, round, number that's thrown my way.
