The standard Forester defense of fabricating conclusions from whole cloth out of "statistics" that are inadequate in every respect to reach the conclusion. i.e "Name a study that is better than my The Center of the Moon is made up of Green Cheese study. If you can't come up with a superior study, then mine is the best available evidence and the Moon IS made up of Green Cheese until better evidence comes along."
