And that's bogus statistics.
"100% of pediatricians suggest that if possible a child would go barefoot - however they also note that it is not possible as a result of sharp objects like glass, rocks, tacks, tree roots or even toys on the floor - so a shoe which is very flexible is needed."
100%? Really, exactly, precisely 100%?
How did they find that out? Did they poll every pediatrician on the planet, and keep an updated list from med schools so that as new pediatricians are created, their opinions are also noted?
No group of people ever agrees 100% on any subject. I promise you, there's even one pediatrician out there right now who thinks that sugar water is an appropriate diet for a baby, or that children grow best on a diet of chips and ice cream. Sure, that pediatrician isn't very well qualified, but that's not the point, is it? (And this is an issue of an entirely different nature, anyway.)
Their site is also poorly edited. Never use a period when a comma is better, folks.
You know, it's not the fact that these stats are wrong, it's that they're blatantly wrong. It's insulting!
Just like I tell Ana: "If you can't lie well, you shouldn't lie at all." It's bad enough being lied to, if they'd said 99.9 I would have been taken in - but to lie badly, that's just... just... that's rude!
