Speaking of irrelevant facts as proof of their unproven claims…
To which irrelevant "fact" do you refer? My citation of "Southern Wealth and Northern profits" was not in this instance an effort to support any claims other than the one you made about free men doing better quality work.
If you are now saying that isn't true, i'll have to disagree with you. Free men do do better quality work.
If it's something else, you'll have to make your point more clearly.
