Well - the data they publish can be correct; or it can be a made-up lie. We simply don't know.

So why should we assume the data they publish should be correct? How did they reach that number? And why is that number more precise than earlier reported numbers? And, why is that number so different to the other numbers told before?

What if they say tomorrow it is 50.000 suddenly?
