I think it's a bit of a stretch to call those things dolls, if we're going to call video games dolls, might as well just call trucks dolls too. Girls prefer dolls because they fit with their natural nature of being more nurturing and wanting to raise children.
Well statistics are fact by definition.....
So GI Joes and Barbies are as close in your book as trucks and barbies? Also I have a fact you might like:

Oh wait, the data has changed again:

Treating an observed trend as more then just a single data point isn't good science.
My point is that you're really stretching to call things dolls. I play video games because I like action and story, to compare that to a barbie is a stretch
In one source the guy was being sarcastic, the other source was a blog....and the blogs sources don't link to anything.
scientifically gathered statistics are the truth.
The idea that all statistics aren't worth studying just because a few are questionable is a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water. We can learn a lot from statistics, and ignoring them distorts what our views should be. Simple example. High percentages of refugees support sharia law, http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/07/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/ that's reason enough not to allow them in. We know this because we studied numbers.
