    I propose statistics discussed in front of barn doors are more prone to errors than otherwise – npst Aug 19 at 9:55

    It might be a reference to the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy – jejorda2 Aug 19 at 15:07

The answer from above wiki link is so much fun it must be worth entering here on the ELU site;

The name is from a joke about a shifty Texan who shoots at a barn, then paints a target centered on the tightest cluster of hits, then claims to be a sharpshooter!

It refers the tendency of some , to infer trends in statistics where none exist.
