Why GNOME’s Translation Platform Is Called “Damned Lies”

I was wondering why GNOME’s i10n platform is called “Damned Lies”?

I searched and I only found a link to “Lies, damned lies, and statistics” article on Wikipedia. After understanding the context a bit, I wasn’t sure about the link between this and the localisation web app, so I asked in the GNOME I18n room on Matrix, and Alexandre generously explained it. Since there was no online explanation, I wrote a post about it on my blog. Hope it helps, and thanks @afranke.
