The world is too random for events to be predicted by statistics.
Whether it's Monte Carlo or anything that we humans come up with there is no way we can predict events in the future.
When the guy who wrote "The Signal and the noise" was completely wrong and so many others who try to predict the future with historical data are "fooled by randomness" (check this book too), we can stop trying to think that statistical significance can predict human behavior.
Whether they do it on purpose or not, just expect that those company reports have no idea what they're talking about.
