He didn't bring Heritage into it. He sourced a fact to a Heritage report, which turned out to be (surprise!) a fact. Please just stop talking about Heritage. An HN survival skill that has served me in good stead: just say "I was wrong, sorry." People will even upvote you for saying it, because it's so rare for a nerd to say it. You will be amazed how many pointless arguments those words get you out of.

When I said that what I did was unwarranted, that was me saying I was wrong. I don't know how much more prostrate you want me to be.

EAT DIRT! THEN SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. THEN: MORE DIRT.

We're OK. Sorry to drag this out. It's been an annoying day.
