In settings where an outcome, a decision, or a statement is made based on a single option among alternatives, it is popular to cherry-pick the data to generate an outcome that is supported by the cherry-picked data but not in general. In this paper, we use perturbation as a technique to design a support measure to detect, and resolve, cherry-picking across different contexts. In particular, to demonstrate the general scope of our proposal, we study cherry picking in two very different domains: (a) political statements based on trend-lines and (b) linear rankings. We also discuss sampling-based estimation as an effective and efficient approximation approach for detecting and resolving cherry-picking at scale.
