Just because you are having trouble does not mean the rest of the class is.

Explain it to me.

Some posts ago I listed numerous categories of mortality that I cannot find any accounting for in the Lancet Report. I asked you to explain to me how the LR author's could arrive at any meaningful conclusions without this critical data.

You never explained this obvious shortcoming whatsoever. Now you want someone to do what you refused to do? Nuts and bolts etcetera? Pony up yourself before you call out someone else. Jeesh.

God-dammit, stop taking what I say out of ****ing context! Your ****ing unbelievable! You ****ing keep trying to crucify me because I choose to put stock in the mother-****ing god-damn Lancet Report. You take what I say out of context and then sit back with that condescending tome and expect me to jump circus hoops. Well, **** that!

I was talking about RH's link on this report by some statistician. Why don't you explain to me what he said. You need to be a math major to understand it.

Now, get off my ****ing back!

He does that. He ignores any contrary evidence so he can put "more weight" on the lancet fraud.

Sorta goulish if you ask me.

A little more on Lancet...

LR: I think it is hard to accept these results for a couple of reasons. People do not see the bodies. While in the UK there are well over 1000 deaths a day, they do not see the bodies there either. Secondly, people feel that all those government officials and all those reporters must be detecting a big portion of the deaths. When in actuality during times of war, it is rare for even 20% to be detected. Finally, there has been so much media attention given to the surveillance-based numbers put out by the coalition forces, the Iraqi Government and a couple of corroborating groups, that a population-based number is a dramatic contrast.
