Does that mean this statistic is made up?

I have the same question as Robby..how exactly are we supposed to believe this statement? What is the source of this particular statistic? I really don't believe that this is a right assumption.

68.9% of statements like this one are made up on the spot.

I do believe there are statistics out there that are made-up or somewhat un-truthful. What's important is to critically think about the issue and base the judgment on the overall arguments, not just the stats. I think the stats in this pic is also made-up, but its purpose is to alarm people about the fake stats around.
