Keith says "they said that "data from" their survey had been generalised, not that its subject did not exist as a type of crime."

Ok well lets read it again then Keith shall we ...

... the data was "generalised to an entire crime type" ...

ok so they are concerned that the information they gathered was being "generalised to an entire crime type" ...

... hmmm ...

You know keith, when I read that I get an idea that they are concerned about the data being "generalised to an entire crime type" ...

... i.e there is no new "crime type".


As for Helen Wilmer,

She is REPORTING a series of ALLEGATIONS ... thats it.

That is not evidence of crimes, just evidence that ALLEGATIONS have been made.

So for you to derive from this that we KNOW that hundreds of crimes have been commited by Pakistanis is also MISREPRESENTATION of the data.

So there is no new crime type, just ALLEGATIONS - and not allegations by Helen Wilmer, only allegations REPORTED by Helen Wilmer.


You state that because Street Grooming was investigated, therefore it exists.

If I allege that you are a thief, and the police investigate it, the fact that you are being investigated for theft does not make you a thief.

And if, as in this case, the investigators specifically state that the data does not support the allegation, then I think it is safe to say that the allegation can be dismissed.

Just like your racist hypothesis.
