We already discussed this. Didn't we agree that European women are more likely to do self-exams because they aren't afforded mammograms as frequently? I don't recall that but thinking about it, I'm not so sure its true. It would make sense they ought to be doing more self-exams but I wouldn't bet on them doing more. They may well not even think about it as much. You haven't verified that she was off by a factor of ten. No, I haven't. I figured it was enough to demonstrate that she was off by a considerable amount ... was just speculating that she might be off by a factor of ten or more Again that seems like the kind of imprecision that I'd author you're criticizing did. one can tell intuitively that she was off by a whole lot. Our judgment is different there. I'd expect an accurate % if it were attainable would be at least half of 11%. Maybe higher. What matters is that her methodology for computing her percentage was totally wrong-headed due to apples and aircraft carriers. I will observe you're making an assumption as well, that early mammograms isn't anywhere close to 11%. The writer clearly assumed it was at least close to 11%. I could write more but am tiring of this discussion.
