This cannot be shown from his data. As I said in my last post, he has

A quote from Louis Midgley regarding those who question the Book of
Mormon historicity--Sterling McMurrin, former philosophy prof at the
University of Utah, typifies this crowd, and was the poster child of
many of the current followers of the dissident camp.

Not to disagree with you in principle, but just to pick a nit:
Thanks for digging this up. Midgley does not think much of the new historians, and
has taken Murphy to task for his paper. If you read the paper, you'll see that he

1. Visit the sick.
2. Visit people in prison.
3. When they have a feast they invite the halt, lame and the blind.
