LOL! No, of course not! I think I am losing something in the translation, apparently, because I agree with you also. I was trying to advance our conversation only. I'm sorry if I seemed confrontational; it was not my intent.:}

No problem, Adder. And I see your point. I just wasn't quite sure you saw mine, which is that the questionable poll is almost certainly the only flaw his detractors could find in the entire book. From the moment it was published, a hue and cry went up from the gun grabbers -- get John Lott! But in the 4 years since publication, they've found nothing else in his book to discredit him with. To me, that means it's got to be 99% accurate.
