[quote=Anonymous]OP, here.

Why does everyone assume a post is always an argument for or against school opening or closing?  I wasn’t trying to build an evidenced based argument; in fact I wasn’t trying to build an argument at all.  I was asking a question and reaching out to people who could better assess the quality of an “analysis” I encountered in the comments section of WaPo.  Yeah, that is random, but I am not writing a research paper or trying to present an oral argument.

I created two threads based on this guy’s comments.  Why did I feel the need to do that?  Because people on this forum have been citing the “wisconsin study” and “cdc guidelines” as “supporting school opening” and this commenter’s analysis of the studies - which I admit I am too lazy undertake myself — made me feel a bit bamboozled by random DCUM posters who I had never pressed for details or explanation when they cited the “wisconsin study” or “the cdc report” as their “evidence.”

In short, I was admitting I am not a science person and examining and evaluating these studies with care would involve a lot of mental focus I need to dedicate to other projects so I was saying “Hey smart stem trained DCUM moms, is this guy’s analysis legitimate or flawed?”

I don’t know how to post a direct link to the guy’s comments but here is the link to the article he commented on.  One of his posts brought up the CDC report and another the Wisconsin study:
