The studies are often difficult to decipher because the classifications of breeds are often done improperly, so the more reliable studies are those that show aggression tendencies among different breeds assuming their owners raise them essentially the same.

Ahh-huh.

IOW, the claim that pit bulls attack less frequently than other breeds was an "orificial" vs. "official" statistic.
