    Nope. Everything has some limitation, and merely pointing them out means nothing. Showing data does. You show no new data. The data stands until you actually show data why it's wrong, not just a potential limitation.

    Anyhow, the data is very clear. Even if you somehow completely eliminate illegal entry tomorrow, we still have a huge problem with drug smuggling. One poster attempt to ignore it and you attempt to downplay it.

    Common sense is essential, but it's most powerful when informed by data. When reliable information is available, true common sense compels us to consider it carefully, not dismiss it. Deliberately ignoring relevant data isn't just a lapse in judgment—it's a form of intellectual dishonesty or willful ignorance.

    This is a case where common sense should override numbers that some person came up with. Said person probably got what he, she wanted out of those numbers.

    Obviously common sense is in short supply these days.
