They do that with mass shootings... don't include gangs or drug deals...That's always the problem with statistics, metrics (for when you have thoroughly trashed "statistics"), or indices (for when you want to seem more official and less markety). It's all about endpoints and boundary conditions; you can prove anything by judiciously setting the boundary conditions. For example, if you exclude enough stuff (like energy and food and ...) then inflation can be made to look not bad at all.
