With that being said, all these conclusions are on the table of possibilities. Since we don't know, it is plausible to say, that one of these could be true. My issue comes from you people that are so sure Lancet is false. Because you don't know.


I thought you didn't know?


Anyway I guess your position is that you believe the numbers based on a popularity contest over empirical data and the many estimates that are much closer.


You argued that I did not know because I was not an expert.


Now you are arguing that the expert I provided is not as prestigious as lancet and therefore is not as believeable.


What portion of my lowly's expert analysys do you disagree with?
