  bogus arithmetic

  on The Economist Shreds BSA Cloud Credentials Piracy Numbers
  I worked in copyright licensing for twenty years. I still think that authorship creates some kind of link to the work authored, which is the principle at the heart of copyright. In the business, I spoke out against using bogus arithmetic to support ludicrous claims. Real numbers based on solid evidence make a real - if not so spectacular - case. But the people who paid me didn't want to hear me telling them not to be stupid.
  
  So now I'm a baker. Oh well.
