But, of course, it’s quite beneficial to anonymously level unsubstantiated accusations in a public forum.
I am not affiliated with NASI, Rechnitz or anyone else involved. I am just having a discussion here. From what I see, there would be little benefit to a more comprehensive study and statistical analysis (though it might be nice), and I have no idea how difficult or expensive it would be, or if it’s even feasible. I cannot think of a reasonable explanation for how there wouldn’t be a demographic benefit to closing the age gap (nor a reasonable way of hypothesizing that there isn’t one).
You’re essentially saying, “I do know, but I’m not telling you”. Maybe you’re even correct, but it’s just no way to have a dialog, and certainly no way to get me to change my position.
