So you're not arguing that the OP and others are doing their statistics wrong, you're saying the raw data they're using is wrong?

I do think the WoB stats are understated by a bit (I think it's closer to 90k), but that's not the issue. The problem is that multiplying those numbers per demographics is meaningless. The numbers are already a reflection of the demographics of potential victims, so to adjust for demographics again is just squaring the number for no reason. It is just plain incorrect and meaningless.
