inquest,
Why the hell am I going to waste my time executing this same fruitless exercise on any other of the points you raise when you refuse to admit the obvious on this matter?
All the proof is on the table, so quit looking down at the floor and mumbling about new and improved ways of misapplying the principles of statistics to turn bad data into good.
And the reason I'm so popular around here is because of people like you who refuse to smell this crap for what it is when I shove your nose in it.
So your options are to either to face the obvious on this matter so we can pursue other relevant points, or join the ranks of the fools and liars who mindlessly spout counterfactual and illogical arguments in favor of Milosevic's war against the Kosovar Albanians civilians in Kosovo.
No, it's actually a perfectly valid application of statistics. And you're the one who's refusing to see the obvious. Normally, if a team such as Dr. Dobricanin's were to announce findings as provocative as theirs, it would tend to generate that thing called Controversy? Instead, it's been met with a very embarrassed silence that's obvious to everyone but the most willfully deaf. About the only people who've taken issue with the results on their own initiative are a few advocacy groups that I've never heard of with names like "Society for the Protection of Oppressed Peoples"... and certain irredentist posters on internet fora. Everyone else - governments, major newspapers, other professionals in the field - have yet to issue any significant criticisms of their methods and logic. Not even Dr. Helena "Crime Against Humanity" Ranta could actually bring herself to criticize the actual methodology that the Serbian and Belarussian teams used. So tell me, exactly how much credibility am I supposed to give you and your amateur forensic peer review in light of all this?
By the way, don't let any of this stop you from seeing if you can come up with a more interesting insult. It does seem to be your only strong suit.
