[Pmclinic] The space between lies and statistics

Here’s this week’s situation:

I’ve noticed in the last weeks that one of the new leads in my group
tends to fudge facts - He makes up statistical correlations and
repeats them often enough that people, including our bosses, take
them as fact.

The trick that defuses my complaints is that he’s clever enough to
fudge facts in the way people want things to be - making it harder to
refute him in the moment. I’ve voiced polite complaints before, but
he’s continued to do it and no one else has said anything.

How do I confront him, or my superiors, about this without it
seemingly like I’m jealous or working behind his back?
