Disputing it on what basis? Your own personal hunches?

Let me just clarify what I meant here. I know you believe the study is flawed, but that still doesn't allow you to conclude anything about what the true number of deaths per year is, especially if the range is so large.
Or to put it another way, even if I agree that the interval [3000, 60,000] is an incorrect interval, that knowledge still tells us nothing whatsoever about what the correct interval is.
Any attempt to postulate what the real interval is, independently of controlled scientific studies, is nothing more than a hunch.
