it wasn't criticism or anything, more that it's all that we have to work with at the moment and it makes things a bit murkier than they should be. i think this thread thoroughly showed somethign was off but not in any precise way, that's all. and if it's only off by X% that could be within the error caused by shoddy data or the like -- at that point we aren't sure if we are off or the data is off, lol. the CF things looks to be more than just a negligible difference, obviously. but i also never really saw it compared in a thorough way in the thread. i'm doing the same things that's being done to the game... loosely looking at it and saying that's not quite right etc, lol.... as long as ootp does the collection/research right, that's the important part. recognizing it's off is easy with somewhat bad data.
like 'they' said or someone said about them, they will hand it off to people to do some number-crunching and do a far better job than someone in their pj's on sunday morning (us) messing around with some spreadsheets and likely much more limited data in comparison.
