Mathsemantics is the only book I know of on the subject. Any other suggestions?
Actually, How to Lie with Statistics (1954) might also count, but has there been any more recent work on the subject?
There's lots about lying with statistics, especially in the context of medicine. Anything by Ioannidis for one. Arguments in general should be part of our skill set though, and those are obviously relevant here.
