I tried. But I've posted this three times now:
"Why is it so hard for you to understand that ONE measure of aggravated assault in the US is comparable to ALL the measures of assault Canada uses (even "non-violent" assault, unless you think that assault without weapons that doesn't result in bodily harm is violent?)"
And he argues that I haven't presented any data to support my position that he was misunderstanding the data. The fact that he sliced the quote is the basis of my assertion that he mishandled the data.
I understand the mods' jobs of keeping flames down...but fair debating REQUIRES that people assess the data accurately. After it's positively shown that someone isn't doing so, what recourse does one have? Report the post?
Seriously...perhaps you can use your mod voice and explain in a less flamboyant fashion how it's simply apples and marbles to compare ONE type of violent assault against ALL types of assault? It's right there in his own quote...what kind of standard is this that allows slipshod analysis at the expense of me being gentle with him after repeated attempts to be reasonable?
