Well, I must say, I am disappointed in you. You tell me that I’m dead wrong and yet you don’t bring in the evidence.
So, I guess I’ll stick with what I thought in the first place. Intuitively, it seems perfectly reasonable.
Except it's not true.
And I wasn't telling you that you were "dead wrong". Only sharing information that your impression was mistaken -- based on data that had been published. I thought maybe you'd appreciate the information.
You don't have to take my word for it, though.
However, I'm not your librarian. If you have an interest in the data, you can find it for yourself. Or you can remain misinformed. That's your decision.
Incidentally, there was one skew in the data, as I now recall. Geographically, the South and West were relatively over-represented, the North and East were relatively under-represented.
And, as I recollect, Rumsfeld was still the Sec Def when the study was published. That gives you a time frame.
