- barry-cotter 7y agoSo? The arguments, statistical analysis and summary data they base the report on are all either in the report I linked or derived from publicly available data. You don’t need to trust anything they said. You can check each individual claim. There’s no appeal to authority here. If you don’t believe their analysis feel free to attack it on the merits. But if the devil says 2 + 2 = 4 it’s still true. Either the analysis is correct or it isn’t. If it isn’t attack the analysis. You don’t need to trust the Heritage Foundation. If you can demolish their argument please do.
- thebooktocome 7y agoThe Heritage Foundation has been caught lying in their self-funded "studies" so many times that I find it difficult to give them the benefit of doubt.
- barry-cotter 7y agoI’m not saying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m encouraging you not to, saying if you find something they’re wrong about or lying about shout it from the rooftops. Note this study was national news in the US when released and quite thoroughly discussed so if there are flaws you could either find them yourself or google for them.

- thebooktocome 7y agoWell, that's five minutes of my life that I'm not getting back. https://nepc.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/TTR-TchrCompens-Heritage_0.pdf https://nepc.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/TTR-TchrCompen... Consider me not surprised that there were serious methodological problems, including a general ignorance of the literature.
