    Regardless, the sample size is way too small to support the resulting claim.

  3. Flawed logic? on IRS Freely Gives Out Employee User Name/Password Info · · Score: 0

    Sixty-one of the 102 people who got the test calls, including managers and a contractor, complied with a request that the employee provide his or her user name and temporarily change his or her password to one the caller suggested, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, an office that does oversight of Internal Revenue Service.

    The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reports that its inspectors were able to get IRS employees to improperly disclose their user names and passwords over 61% of the time. 60,000 of the IRS's 100,000 employees and contractors thus are susceptible to computer hackers, putting personal taxpayer information at risk for unauthorized disclosure, theft and fraud. Ok, so 61 out of the 102 people who were tested are idiots. Making the leap that 60000 of the 100000 employees are also idiots is ridiculous. Oh, by the way, 61% of 100000 is 61000, even if you're going to use massively flawed logic, at least get your math straight.

    not your own weak constition that can't handle not eating like a pig. More of the typical lack of responsibility for one's own actions. Move on nothing to see here.
