You sure can, it's called data manipulation. Example, if you exclude the attacks on America done 9/11, then localized violence becomes the greatest threat to FBI. Second example, if you exclude the data from energy sectors then inflation is only peeking in single digits not the almost 20% everyone is actually feeling. Data sucks when people don't use it to reflect reality
