And since you personally decided on the 90% and the 3,000, that makes it so much better than the 13 found in the text.

I freely acknowledged that it was "arbitrary". You did read the post, right? Also, your use of "13" is unsupported.

Or maybe 13 jumped to 3,000. Eh? Is that what you say?

I say: (a) your "13" is unsupported versus my supported number (just arguing for the sake of argument here ;-), (b) any reasonable final tally works for the purposes of my main argument, and (c) the "analysis" you're relying on is severely flawed.

How about if you go read the book for actual content rather than aha! statistics?

I'll freely acknowledge the stats aren't as important as the underlying principle. Nevertheless, my point still stands (as I stated in my previous post).

Next week I might be about to check myself what the new edition says.

The book is thousands of pages of statistical listings. Have fun. (Was that another use of an aha! statistic?)

As it turns out on reexamination, the number is 21. The source, here, is the same one I already linked to. 19 is the number of Orthodox denominations (oops) and 13 is a typo.

(b) any reasonable final tally works for the purposes of my main argument,

Tell me, if you would, why are there pro-choice Catholics?
