Even your own stats may not be accurate. You might make some awful
design mistakes that makes your site completely unaccessible for users
of special browsers. Chances are that they'd never come back and that
your usage stats simply say that there are nearly no users of these
browsers...

It might be useful to compare your own stats with others and take a
closer look at differences. But don't forget that differences will
probably be normal. A design-blog will probably attract much more mac
users and a site about linux-programming will get more hits by
Konqueror users than a single-portal. (Ok, I'm not really sure about
the last assumption... ;-)
