I would have happily debated the point if you hadn’t added the arrogant and completely unwarranted insult.
I’m not sure this stat isn’t itself a platitude. If we are just going to use popular numbers, the CEO of McDonald’s would wipe the floor with the...
Well if that’s the case in your view, perhaps I should amend my statement to read: we don’t have evidence capable of generating a broad consensus...
