Rob:
” all agreed the name-based ethnicity analysis was statistically sound, robust, and accurate.“I pointed Keith to posts and tweets from each of them individually expressing support for the *method”,
“But data and method are not the same thing,”
Dead right data and method aren’t the same thing. You can have a method before you collect the data. You can have the data then develop a method to look at it. But when you use the word “analysis” it implies method and data are present and to cap it off there are guaranteed to be conclusions. And it is highly likely that’s what Keith was concerned about. He objected to the conclusions you made with the analysis of the shonky data using your method.
Baysians can be pretty bloody dangerous at times.

Not much has changed? "Safe Marriage" - Ettie Rout.
The immorality of her whole business: The Womens Temperance Society Page 2.
This picture of Ettie Routs nurses is here. My Wonderfuls's great aunt, Dora Murch is pictured.
My Grandfather lost 56 days of pay in Egypt in 1916 when he managed to "acquire" an STD........ I probably owe my existence to Ettie. -
The Statue has triggered a Memory. Was it Alan Whicker who was in the car doing a travel doco on NZ when Robbie was in the car doing an interview with him with no shirt on??….I have this weird very old early 60s memory of that….

I remember back in about 1974 my flatmate's girlfriend going on holiday to Fiji and bringing him back a Akai Cassette deck!! For half price!!!!! Talk about bells and whistles! Similar to the piccie.
Man was that a moment in time. It was an era where every technician in DSIR spent hours emptying D J Reid of components and building Electronic Australia's Stereo Amplifiers, preamplifiers, speakers (C8MX were cheap and king) and even building compensated turntables from scratch.....pun intended.
The party guy with a reel to reel was also of a Princely stature. The ability to dance the night away without changing cassettes, 45s or LPs made the drinking and girl chasing a hell of a lot easier.

Any country that invents an act of congress called
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001
and forces their fist into the face of the citizens of the world needs an urgent change of planet.
I certainly wouldn’t want my children to grow up in a country that has to be so jingoistic in persuading them to become patriotic.
But…If only he hadn’t mentioned the ALL Blacks……
