The problem with mental midgets like Reich is the truth does not serve their preconceived bias and thus they are forced to lie.
As you point out, his credibility is pre-supposed based on his academic credentials rather than his demonstrated expertise and reputation for truth telling.
You can put whatever perfume on it you want, but Reich is a common liar. Nothing more.
The late and deeply missed Scott Adams always cautioned about this type of numbers legerdemain. He said to disregard any claim based exclusively on percentages without the underlying numbers and conversely, do the same with claims that provide only a number without provide per centum or per capita. I think he was a very perspicacious man. And Reich is an inveterate liar and charlatan.
Excellent analysis.

Thank you, Alex, for pulling the thread, and shining the light of truth. We need more real journalists like you.
I'm an Accountant. There's a saying that Reich clearly proves. "Figures lie and Iiars figure." Enough said. 😉
Aka: One-Third Reich.

Reich has always been a socialist ideologue whose intellectual morals are smaller than his stature. He hasn’t changed any.
Why I never read anything by Reich.
