It was you who went all ad hominem and accused the illustrious ElM of being a racist simply because he made an observation about the reproductive proclivities of Angolans. If were not making an ad hominem attack, you would have demonstrated through perspicacious use of data and statistics that he is wrong. But instead of showing an error in his ideas or information, you simply called "Racist!". Making such an accusation is not an argument. My guess that you made the ad hominem attack was because you are numerically illiterate, on a statistical basis of course. Maybe you have a PhD in statistical mathematics and simply made a blunder. Everyone makes blunders. Some much more than others. My puzzle was "Why did he call ElM a racist?" Was it because he is a she, or they are ignorant of statistics, or they are card carrying Loony Liberal Left, etc? I went with "statistically ignorant". Which you are free to refute, being a standard deviant. Mqurice
