Lott made up a second persona so that he could have someone agree with him. He was so insecure in his own writings that he had to make up a fictional person to agree with him. He's been ripped to shreds by numerous publications, made up facts, used facts wrong, been unable to produce documents on his facts, and is a laughing stock.
Come on Ohio, you're better than following this guy.
I don't "follow" anyone. I have reviewed his studies as well as all those you have presented and many others on the topic. And I have found his data and conclusions persuasive.
While it's true he used a fake persona on an online forum to anonymously argue against those who were falsely attempting to discredit his study, none of that means the underlying study is somehow invalid. Even you can understand that logic.
People regularly attack him personally and attempt to conduct their own studies to disprove his conclusions, but don't be naive enough to think that isn't any more than political attacks because they know they can't attack the studies themselves.
