Well, that question is easy to answer.
That's because the guy in the article isn't an expert in domestic violence. He's not proposing that nothing be done, he's showing restraint by not talking out of his ass about a subject he's not an expert in.
You ask the statistics guy what solution he's got for the problem and he's going to give you a statistics answer. And maybe you can use that answer to ask other experts follow-up questions, but that's beyond the scope of your conversation with this particular person.
But it sure as Hell is within the scope of an article that purports to consult with multiple experts to arrive at solutions to the problem. So where the fuck is the paragraph about what the DV expert had to say? It isn't there, and that's what I've been complaining about this whole damn time!
The article is shit and deserves to be downvoted because -- as you have just effectively admitted -- it fails to even cite the right experts in the first place. Which means you trying to paint me as wrong for disregarding experts that don't even exist in the article is, again, complete and utter bullshit. Q-E-fucking-D.
Disagree. Not every article has to cover absolutely everything.
It's like talking about problems with drug addiction. There are two facets:
You do not need to present a solution to both in order to present a good solution to 1.
Even if that's true -- and I'm not conceding that point -- that's not the argument you've been making. Instead, you started off this whole thing by trying to ridicule me for strawman nonsense you made up, and haven't even apologized yet. I'm really sick and tired of your blatant bad faith.
