There is nothing wrong with having an opinion. MikeB has gone beyond just having an opinion and accused the site of being wrong without good data to back it up. They are far from solid arguments when all that exists is some cherry picked numbers and anecdotal data.

Cherry picked data? They are the only truly correct (has to be, as in legally) and official figures we have to our disposal. All other data is (educated) guesswork.

 

Cherry picked data is factual data but chosen to only support a particular viewpoint, ignoring all other data which might contradict that viewpoint.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
