The phrase Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics" was attributed by Twain to Benjamin Disraeli (British PM) and was in fact made by Leonard H. Courtney, in New York in 1895:
'After all, facts are facts, and although we may quote one to another with a chuckle the words of the Wise Statesman (presumably Disraeli), "Lies - damn lies - and statistics," still there are some easy figures the simplest must understand, and the astutest cannot wriggle out of.

The last part seems as apropos to the Nevada court's statistical problem as the first...
