a recent University of Oxford study concluded that there is a 92 percent chance that most fast food jobs will be automated in the coming years...

So let me get this straight:

1. There was a study at Oxford

2. It's conclusions can be applied to "most" (non-quantified) fast food jobs

3. The time-frame for its prediction is "the coming years" (non-quantified)

4. It concludes with an accuracy of "92 percent"

So we have an NON-QUANTIFIED prediction of an event to take place in an NON-QUANTIFIED period of time with an accuracy of EXACTLY 92 PERCENT!

Wow. That's pretty freaking good.

My only question is, why did they limit themselves?

Why not claim 93 PERCENT???

Shows you how freaking ridiculous "studies" can be... along with the articles that uncritically report them.
