It's not "93% vs 95%" but the entire credibility of anything Heather McDonald says. I suspect PDQ would not especially like figures tossed out by, say, Keith Olberman, attributed to some other group.

Heather has, for instance written on the "controversy over so-called racial profiling".   Though racial profiling may not occur as often as Mudcatters think, it does exist.   Someone who denies it totally loses believability. She is plainly a polemicist.


Like Keith Olberman in a similar situation, at this point Heather has no credibility without backup. And if the 95% proves without foundation, PDQ's argument falls.
