forcing the data to "cry" i.e forcefully obtaining results that you want from data

This one is so tough. I get it all the time. "Well can't you look again. Try this very forceful twist on it.". It can be a tough fight.

If there's no correlation don't make one, and don't let leadership force you into thinking there is one.
