I think he meant false equivalence. Look there are going to be fans who did take multivariate calculus (ok, we're so impressed) and those who did not. That doesn't mean all fans know what is going on based on morsels of information, most of which I don't think even the accounting majors have. I don't think you can blame many people for being upset and while I think it's true that their analyses are driven more by wanting a quick resolution that anything else, this whole thing -- from the inside and in the public sphere, it's a huge clusterfck. One can manipulate numbers in this case to favour either side. I'm just trying not to pay attention until it gets resolved. If I did, I'd be really suffering from the effects of the lockout. Also, people are bashing Pierre Lebrun? The guy is one of the most honest and objective in the business IMO.
