No, actually, statistics have built in understandings of error. Some are quite precise. Others are not. You seem to not be able to comprehend this simple fact. > I don't think anyone could claim correctness there since it's all > based on guesstimates (thus the room for disagreements), although I do > appreciate your passion for government-derived estimates. You can't claim correctness because you pull everything out of your ass without any resort to anything other than you saying something is so. Some people actually do research. You cannot be bothered and try to dismiss with bluster what does not fit your current world view. That is pathetic. Just because there is uncertainty in the statistics of others does not mean that the shit you pull from your ass has equal value. That is a false equivalence and it is just ridiculous.
