"Different methodology." Duh! Yes. My point, exactly. "Assuming that their database is anywhere close to accurate..." Seems pretty well documented to me and though people on both sides have tried to challenge it as being either too liberal or too conservative in its counting, to my knowledge, no one has made a convincing case against them. "their minimum figure of 16k deaths is a strong argument that the 100k figure is actually pretty close, if not conservative." LOL. On what absurd statistical theory do you base that notion? And what does their "maximum 18k" suggest? Or did you "overlook" that figure?
