Fun with Numbers.

I found this statistic in an otherwise OK article about male depression:

Men with depression and heart disease are two or three times more likely to die than men with heart disease who are not depressed.
Not true.

Men with depression and heart disease are exactly as likely to die as men with depression but no heart disease or, for that matter, men with heart disease but no depression.

The odds for all of 'em is 100%, one per customer.
