And when you tell a fearful people who already believe the worst that the latter doesn't represent a different community than the former, and their beliefs about "pedophiles" are true, just how much credibility do you think they will give your possibly self-serving claim; especially as it has no known numbers and the former one does.

We often disagree, but in this case I don't see how your words have internal consistency -- they're all over the place.

You keep bringing in law enforcement. I'm not talking about law enforcement. You can still compute statistics without that being profiling. Profiling is what happens when law enforcement overuses statistics to treat individuals differently. But if someone says, "Poor people commit more crimes than middle class people", stating the statistic doesn't mean they are profiling.

say Pedophile when you mean it. Say Preferential Child Molester when you mean it. And not use the terms interchangeably.

Uh, when have I used them interchangeably? I occasionally type the wrong word, but I'd like to see some references on this claim.

Surely you know about Venn diagrams and conditional probabilities and even Bayesian analysis. But sometimes I'd think you're forgetting the most basic stuff there.
