you've heard of computer modeling????

I have. Been there, done that. Understand where the bodies are buried.

Just waving your arms and making counter claims to published numbers without studied numbers of your own makes you look pretty dumb....

If my counter to your claim is that there are no extant data on which to base a model that would support that claim, how in the world could I produce counter numbers? Good grief.

I tried to explain to you how those results don't track with common sense. I am always amazed by the credulity of true believers. The true believer mantra: some "expert" says it, it supports my preconceived notion, so it must be true regardless of it stands to reason or not. Who looks dumb?
