kirstang--i don't recall making the primitive causal argument that you impute to me, nor is that argument necessary for the comparative numbers to be problematic for your position.
if you want to play the data game, i can do that.
btw i am not in the least interested in sophomoric debate tactics ("i know you said nothing like this but it's easier for me to make my little point if i just act as though you did...and maybe if i use some adjective like "blithe" it'll be less apparent a cheap bait and switch because it implies attitude.") don't bother.
