Well your post did contain some fairly strong name calling- people that exercised usually are arguing something- I assumed that was the excuse for your language.

My reaction to that chart was "just how stupid do you think I am?" That's the reason for my language. I am not all knowledgeable and I do have my senior moments, but I'm not stupid, definitely not stupid enough to fall for that chart. "Lame" was a well modulated response given what was offered and how I reacted.

I just wasn't sure what it was you were arguing.

I wasn't arguing anything. I was challenging the assertion conveyed by the chart, looking for either a rationale or a concesssion.

it seems to me equally likely people could put up a completely credible alternative argument.

I'm waiting.
