"The last stat I read is that it's running about 6-8% for software developers, which is what I used to do."

I guess the point I was trying to make is that you you need triple check your figures. If you claim a point that can be proved in the slightest extent as false, your entire argument will be invalidated. Even your narrow example loses force, 6-8%, while high, is not very high when compared to an overall rate which is somewhere arond 5.5%. It is a much stronger argument to compare 6-8% to the historical norm of 2-4%.

You have to realize that your opponents regard you as "reality-based" as opposed to "faith-based". Ok, this seem to be a stupid distinction, but it isn't. Yes, for some, what you believe about reality is more important than what you can prove. Kant would barf. But that is the reality that Americans have to deal with. Most especially the "reality-based".
