This is some serious knee-jerk adversarialism you're locked into.
Just because you've stuffed a big bag full of data and polished (and
polished, and polished) a bunch of talking points doesn't make you
right or anyone else wrong.

Anyone with "polished (and polished, and polished) [...] talking
points" is an obsessed apparatchik who *needs* to polish those
received "talking points" because he can't think for himself.

That's how come Franki-boy makes a fool of himself by throwing out
totally irrelevant "confounding factors" he picked up on the netsites
of the AHZ; because he can't think for himself, those received but
"polished talking points" are all he has: they have to fit all cases.

Trying to discuss statistics, which are the essence of applied
science, with Frank Krygowski throws up the same problems as arguing
with Marxists, Moonies, Scientologists, Hare Krishna, Mormons and
snake-charming Fundamentalists who think the world started in 4044BC:
you're not dealing with reason, you're dealing with the emotive rote-
learned "facts" of a perverted faith.
