dredged up my favorite paragraph from my old epidemiology textbook, written by the legendary hopkins professor leon gordis. this is verbatim (emphasis mine).
they asked a group of men whether or not they had been circumcised. the men were then examined by a physician. of the 56 men who stated they were circumcised, 19, or 33.9%, were found to be uncircumcised. of the 136 men who stated they were not circumcised, 47, or 34.6% were found to be circumcised. these data demonstrate that the findings from studies using interview data may not always be clear-cut.
