@pwalker. In the first sentence of you last post you refer to a July 2017 post you linked to earlier as being "this year". You do know we are now in the second month of 2018, don't you? And your post goes downhill from there.

You pointed to a single author, John Scalzi, as having said Bookscan estimates were not accurate, not Bookstat estimates which were not even around at the time. Seems you are still confused. I will let the rest of your post speak for itself. One piece of advice. It is better to acknowledge your error and move on. It is not the end of the world. We all have our prejudices which can blind us and we all get things wrong from time to time. You are dealing with intelligent people who can read your previous posts and see what you actually wrote.
