they didn't expect it to be, they said if it remains constant.
You seem to be the one making the assumption -- that it wouldn't remain constant -- otherwise why would you have made that comment?
- spuz 5y agoThe commenter I replied to said "It (the number of activists) has everything to do with it". That is pretty strong language to me. I infer from that the commenter wanted to suggest that the number of activists is the only factor that matters because we can assume that murder-rate would remain constant. If I am making the wrong inference here then I put it down to the strong and yet imprecise language of "it has everything to do with it".
- jamesrcole 5y agoI think their absolutist statement was more to do with responding in kind to the comment they were replying to, which said “The overall number of activists or the growth thereof has absolutely nothing to do with that.”
