Liberty, what law enforcement officials say — for example, the Ottawa County Sheriff in the Holland Sentinel (here in Michigan) and most recently, a prosecutor with the U.S. Dept of Justice in a mtg of pro-family activists in D.C. — is that in every case of child sexual abuse they prosecute, the offender was in possession of either adult or child porn.

Every case = 100 percent.

Now I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you simply overlooked the reverse correlation, with enough generosity not to call you a liar just because you did.

I appreciate that. I didn't overlook anything. And as you have explained it, I'll go back to my alternative, that the speaker doesn't understand the definition of 100% correlation. For that to be the case, every possessor of pornography would have to have molested a child, and every child molester would have to possess pornography.

Every child molestor has probably eaten pizza, too, but you can't say those are 100 percent correlated.
