摘要

The (alleged) quote from Winston Churchill about statistical analyses can easily be transferred to the creation of maps. In this context, it is not only important for the cartographer to know where the data and information for the creation come from, but also what processing they have undergone. For example, interpolations or data classifications change the data, and improper or manipulative application can also result in falsifications.
