I still want to know what other "notable studies" (plural) they found, or was that a lie too?

The part you are either not understanding or are ignoring is that she said "STUDIES", plural, as in more than one, many as opposed to one, not just one. And then they go and change the text from studies to: "Look, see, here's a study" as in one, and only one, not many. Besides the simple fact that the Donohue "study" is not really a study, but a different way of looking at the same number, cherry picking the stats that he wants to use so that the "study" proves his point, there is the fact that the so called study cited is ancient, surely there must be something more recent, particularly if it's true.

She said studies, the text said studies, it is dishonest to change it, particularly since they probably can't find more than one, so I want them to either admit they lied to begin with and there are no studies, and that they are trying to cover up their lies, or come up with more than one ancient and discredited one.

I can't get my comment to post, I wonder if they have closed it. I left it on their FB page instead.
