This paper proposes 18 types of statistical data explanations and three kinds of procedures to investigate credibility in unethical and biased explanations due to exploitation of the 10 instincts proposed by Rosling et al. The explanation "women have lower math scores than men'' accompanied with the averages and the distributions of their scores is an example of such an explanation, as it exploits the gap instinct, i.e., our tendency to divide all kinds of things into two distinct and often conflicting groups. It becomes much less credible if we replace the word "math'' with "English'', even if we keep the data as they are, as the exploitation seems to fail. Our judging procedures are based on phrase embedding and carefully designed comparisons to judge the credibility. The results of our experiments comparing the 18 types with their variants show promising results and clues for further developments.
