Thanks for your comment.
You may or may not be aware that innumeracy is a bit of a problem in this country and journalists are no exception. John Allen Paulos wrote a whole book about it: A mathematician reads the newspaper. So my goal in posing that question was to learn whether this person could make sense of the available data independently or would need more "support." This is not "attacking" someone; it's "getting to know your audience."
I'm not sure which parts of my note struck you as "angry" or "slightly crazy," but that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Having been burned before by the BS editors, I'm not eager to repeat the exercise.
You're absolutely right that $100 is not nearly enough to compensate someone for the work that this story will require. If my questions have prevented someone from doing a half-assed job, then that's probably a good thing.
I hope I am not being summoned to testify in front of the House Un-Berkleleyside Committee? We'll need a future Victor Navasky to sort this one out!

>For Our Own Good examines the psycho-social and political repercussions of prevailing approaches to child-rearing. Learn why warm and nurturing parents produce secure, altruistic children who go on to form progressive political beliefs while the children of punitive, authoritarian parents are bound by fear and shame to support right-wing causes and candidates. If you've ever wondered how big a role parenting plays in shaping personality and the political and cultural values of the broader society, this book is a must read.
This is so completely, stupidly wrong that there's literally no place to start. You would have to be either below-normal-intelligence or insane to think this hypothesis was valid.
