: Disbelief of something because it is "too good to be true" is not a strong argument against it.  Perhaps it is not precisely true as stated, but is a rough approximation, for example.  Your specific arguments against the proposition above don't withstand scrutiny.

: Finding the best new conservative words is like drilling for oil.  Of course it is not a random process.  That would be silly.  But the lack of randomness does not mean that no intelligent conclusions can be drawn.  We can properly conclude that there is more oil in the Arabian Peninsula than in Pennsylvania, where oil was first discovered, despite the lack of randomness in drilling oil wells.  Our conclusion would be based on the difference in output, and the implausibility that ''any'' reasonable selection technique would produce such a differential if there were not also an underlying difference.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:06, 1 August 2010 (EDT)
