I read your piece about the meeting with the Pinkertons as well as the piece detailing the math used to arrive at the 6.7% figure. What I am curious about is where the other 1% of the reports disappeared to? Your source as well as yourself reported that if only 6.7% of the reports were warranted that 92.3% of the kids would be being persecuted for no reason. That only adds up to 99%. Am I missing something somewhere or did someone just goof on the math?
