When I read critically, I look at the way the author chooses to express himself. Using loaded expressions like, "I have figures in my possession..", indicates that the author is trying to sound tuned in. This guy would like us all to think that he has some magic numbers when really well, let me re-write his sentence:
My wild ass guess at the death toll would be 41,000 to 410,000.
jeffers, if you still have those figures in your possession, you may want to offload them...along with your Y2K emergency stocks.
