That's one ex RAF guy with a science and statistics based first degree and who wrote a masters dissertation on change management that's quoted as a reference to this day if you don't mind. Or doesn't any of that matter because I'm only a thick ex RAF - um, oh of course, you don't even know what my job was in the RAF.

That's the problem with picking up on one element of a person and judging them purely on that element; there's usually significantly (that's at the 95% acceptance level by the way) more to that person.

I don't have to prove anything in this discussion because all I've done is guess and assume a safety factor of 5 being applied to projections, you're the one that gave a definitive figure of 3 million dead that can't be backed up or proven. But I see you've backed away from that assertion after being challenged on it.

It's difficult to put forward a coherent argument if you focus too narrowly on one characteristic, can't prove what you quote as fact and can't back up your data.
