As I've cautioned before, the Benford's Law analysis is *suggestive* of needing an investigation, and is routinely used to back up conclusions -- however, we should be *careful* not to push it too far.

Like stressed and melting beams in an imploding skyscraper, it is just too...

.. easy to kick up dust. These arguments will continue (as they did with the statistics of Bush/Gore) until August 2021 and then some still won't be convinced.

We don't have time for this -- the threat profile is now, not next August.

People who do want to do this analysis for real should be looking at precinct level stats, not county or state aggregates. At least county, if you are rushed for time.

Meanwhile, we have an existential attack to fight off. Doesn't mean that pursuit of the Truth must halt.

If the Marxists win, as they did with Bush and Obama, then they will craft an official Narrative, enforce it with loss of status or credentials for dissenters, and move on.

See also, the Climate idiocy. That's how it works in a n oppressive regime. No dissent allowed.

And you can bet exactly 98.7% of Statisticians who want to remain employed will tow the party line on very specific applications of Benford's law to certain data.

CTs will lose again. By fiat.

Hint: it doesn't matter what the conclusions of 'scientific research' are, if competing hypotheses cannot be published, but confirming ones are always published.

See andrewgelman.com on Sociology and Psychology, and their statistical significance as published.

Prussian Gymnasium Wissenschaft is in the cross-hairs, this Colour Revolution.

Science, if you can keep it.
