   Can you say something actually quantitative, ie. something of the   
   form x plus or minus y percent, and if you do this, can you show   
   how you calculated it?   
      
   It's your job to justify your claim.  If you haven't made the effort   
   to justify your claim, nobody owes you the effort to justify their   
   non-agreement with your claim.  You're freeloading.
