Althouse Redux
Another point regarding this post:
I neglected to mention the primary logical fallacy exemplified by Ann Althouse's comment regarding bias. It is Ignoratio Elenchi, otherwise known as a Red Herring. Whether or not anti-Bush partisans like or dislike the subject study's conclusions has no relevance whatosever to the correctness of those conclusions. Only a direct study of the results can shed any light on that issue.
