"It has become a stealth statistics discussion". It has indeed. I personally think this is another example of why we need a statistics topic to more openly and critically eaxmine the data for those interested and to prevent the people who find this stuff irrelevent or discouraging from being disturbed by it.

And "59% of what" is an excellent question and, I suspect, were the data presented another way, it would not look like such a huge advantage. Even if it really does exist.
