| irstupid said: Your source is Wikipedia, which if you go down and use the sources they used to get their info, you can see that they are wrong. The source they used, touts the organization saying that 800,000 people showed up in DC. Multiple experts and analysts put that actual number between 180,000-210,000. That is a 1/4 of that number or 600,000 less. In just one of the protest locations. So how am I to trust that 1.6 million number when already I know from just ONE location they are inflating the numbers by 600,000? Even going from the 2,000,000 high end, a 600,000 discrepancy is 30% less. If we start at the 1.2 million, it is 50% less. |
There are three estimates linked in the Wikipedia article I provided and these are the sources I'm aware of, K? Now by contrast, you instead say that you know of "multiple experts and analysts' with different estimates, but don't bother to cite any. I wonder why that is.
In the choice between believing the estimate range highlighted by the sources I'm aware of and taking your word for it as some random stranger I just met on the Internet, I'm going with the former option.
