This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Sorry but...
Cumulative frequency: depends on context. More like 'sum of sums'.
Peer Review: ... Yeah, okay.
Distribution curve: technically a line graph but can also represent stacked trend values over time so somewhat more complex.
Margin of error: Of course it matters if it's wrong, just a measure of how much. Normally dictated by context and contributory factors. Your bank account has a zero margin of error. However the local bus timetable will. That's life.

And finally, data cleansing IS NOT correcting typos in Excel. I'm a data architect and DBA and this one really boils my piss. Go away and read some books on database administration, or Google 'Big Data' if you're lazy. Might as well denounce the discipline of mechanical engineering as being able to hold a spanner the right way up.
