What are the strengths of using statistics as evidence?

Using statistics helps you prove your point, and it backs up what you’re saying. It also gives your audience reliable information which could persuade them to listen to what you’re saying.

What are the limitations?

Limitations include using statistics that aren’t proven or seem exaggerated. For example saying something like 80% of Fijians migrate to New Zealand for the scenery, it’s not proven because it’s a personal experience.
