If that is what you really think, Jim, then I feel I have done. I will simply content myself with saying that I feel you are grossly mistaken about that. They ARE facts; they are not 'unsubstantiated opinions'; you can find them substantiated in impeccably maintained and available court statistics. What you may think they 'become', in ill-chosen metaphors, when adduced by somebody you refuse to listen to because you disapprove of his 'track record' is the only 'unsubstantiated opinion' in the case.
