You guys keep saying that, but I've seen no specific evidence. I wish I could give you a good response. I had one once. I may even have posted it here. It's got echo chamber partisan myth written all over it. No more so than yours has blind trust written all over it. The CBO does have scoring rules. That is a fact. So even if I can't line up a set of rules with a set of manipulations for you, it is at least theoretically possible that manipulation occurred. I did the work contemporaneously, stored my conclusion, but dismissed from memory the detail. Recovering all of that would be too much work if even possible and you probably wouldn't accept it anyway. But look at it this way. The proponents would have been pretty stupid not to have taken advantage of every opportunity to come in with a good score. They were under a lot of pressure to add as much stuff as possible while achieving a net savings. So the only question is the extent of the manipulation, how plausible the plausible deniability is. Is it there? You can't possibly think otherwise. Is it outrageous, no way to know without doing the work.
