That's neither here nor there. "Business" is not a field in and of itself. It's an attempt to legitimize his refutation without actually having to put any work into it. If he had just left it at "other fields" then the comment could maybe stand on its own. It's still a bit too vague, but whatever. And even you, you're just here making the claim that you've done "accounting-type" work so that when you later say that you downloaded the data and "did some basic analysis" your conclusion will seem more valid. What analysis? What about the data didn't line up? Saying something and showing something are two different things.
