Instead of making an ad hominem attack on me for panicking and being the butt-buddy to the nuclear industry, why don't you answer the science and math I've given you. Check the normal incidence of CH in the population with the CDC. It's 4 in 10,000.
True or false?
Now take out your calculator and check: a 28% increase of 4 in 10,000 cases of CH, the calculation is
4 x 1.28=5.12
True or false?
Round down in the conventional way, and that's 5 in 10,000.
True or false?
Since this is grade school math, I know you can check each step and tell me where I made the error due to my "panic."
I'm not a fan of nuclear power. If it went away tomorrow I would be relieved. I just have no tolerance for bullshit like this.
You chose the ad hominem fallacy when the simple math and science was there for you to critique. This tells people what mental processes you're trying to appeal to, and it's not the higher ones.
Corium is a different issue. You got to stop me from panicking before we go on to that. To do that, you have to either tell me I'm right or tell me where my science and calculation are wrong.
