When I went back to grad school in 1990 one of the new sayings I heard and chuckled at was:

“If you torture the DATA long enough,
it will admit to anything.”

Later this got shortened up to

P-hackin gets ya financial backin

With my experience of 5 years of military style summer camp and four years of military High School/ROTC this jarred with the simple code of:

I will not lie, cheat, or steal and I will not tolerate those who do.

My military history instructors took pains to explain that failure to adhere to this code leads to military defeat, particularly in “The Fog of War” where accurate information is a vital weapon.
