:: LOL and you don't like me rambling along  ) 

 :: Alas, another "fog, distract and dissuade" defense. Read it again, sir; there is no "fallacy" nor "absurd logic" in anything I wrote. I am in no way trying to discredit the statistics of every statistical bureau (as you would pretend I am doing) but I am indeed discrediting your use of them. There is no need to compare with other articles; "other people are doing it" is not a mature argument and in itself does not justify a thing. Do they really compare different countries' "aire urbaine" GDP's on the radio? LOL - The product of entire countries perhaps. More fog IMHO. As for my argument, "Apples to pears" is about a precise summary  as you can get. 

 ::This article is indeed a sore spot on Wiki as far as I'm concerned, and no, I will not leave it be until it improves. If you do not want other people to touch "your work" then best get around to improving it yourself, or at least start formulating coherent arguments in defense of it.
