Yes. As I said, it is irrelevant. Maybe I should have been less
glib. I'll try again. You had my interest until you started quoting
irrelevant statistics.  Then you lost it.  It is better to give no
statistics that irrelvant statistics. If you want to make a point to me,
you'll need to quote relevant statistics. Otherwise, I will probably bow
out of the discussion.
