I do not disagree. But at the end of the day, there is:
- that which occured in reality
- our measurements (best possible effort, or not, often with unknown(!) accuracy) of that which occured in reality
- what the media (and individual persons) say has occurred in reality (sometimes based on measurements (accurately, or not), sometimes completely made up)
These are almost always not equal, especially in complex situations like this. That the media and intelligent people cannot acknowledge this without resistance is rather alarming, to me. Mainstream thinking is increasingly starting to resemble that which is usually attributed only to conspiracy theorists.
