> I don't have an opinion about China, but just in general, I'm sure they don't have data from the future :-)

Well then all studies are ‘backward looking’ then and it’s a stupid criticism, and why mention it since it’s obvious and there’s no other way they could have done it.

I think what you just wrote falls back on you. The parent just mentioned it, nothing special, AND it made sense as part of his argument. It was you who made a big deal of it.

You wrote

> How is it backward looking?

Which is clearly wrong! You even just admitted it.

Please don't try to make it look like it's the parent commenters fault now.
