Yeah, I was thinking of bringing up examples myself, but because of the various axes involved, bringing one up might not be terrible effective.
Another person (I think it was cousin_it) brought up the idea that it should come down to a bet. If we bet ten dollars, and one of us kept arguing after the evidence was in and the bet was lost all it would come down to is, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?"
EDIT:Also someone went and down voted the crap out of me. Who'd I make mad and why?
Yup. I thought of the 'without an axe to grind' proviso because I expect some politically-aligned think tanks out there have already published pamphlets or reports arguing one side or the other, but I wouldn't be inclined to take their claims very seriously.
Whoever did it, it's not just you.
