How so?

What consensus is that? What I think is that he made an educated guess. When
you are quoting government statistics, those are also educated guesses. So his
statistic is as valid as the numbers you pull off the web to justify any number
of assertions.

respect his claims about LUGNET demographics any more if he sends a survey to
every human on earth asking about LUGNET and compiles the statistics from those
few who return them. You are being absurd.

Yes. When the point is obvious, it is. Current threads aside, Larry needn't
justify the claim that the sky is blue either.
