First off, that quote is in a much larger context. Neil was saying that the material that makes up life is so abundant in such a vast universe, that it's basically a statistical certainty that some form of life exists out there somewhere. He was saying for us to believe that we're some super special, magical occurrence when we're made of literally the most common stuff in the universe is egocentric.
And you're now grossly extrapolating what I was saying. I didn't say their numbers were bad, or wrong. They are projections, and projections can be wrong when unexpected things crop up. For example, a large lump sum payment from bank settlements might not have been reflected in those projections, throwing off the numbers for June.
Do you get it now? It's not a live feed. That's it. That's my criticism.
Fair enough.
