-OK Erik you win. The thing is, why am I witnessing too many of the people whose work I found valuable and insightful suddenly become myopic on this poisonous topic of -was there fraud sufficent to change the outcome of the election ?  For years, literally 20 or more, I told people that the great tech labor shortage was a coordinated scam between government and big business.  From first hand experience I know that researchers at our most prestigous universities are not only p-hacking around the edges but have formed a Communist style poliboro of political truth ---> in the hard sciences <--- where, starting from what can and cannot be a research topic, each and every utterance or opinion is another footstep in a  career ending landmine field. So of course I held your podcast in the highest regard.
-So why the cowardly retreat from the obvious ? This was your outstanding feature- truth in the face of personal ruin. Even more than your borther, who hedges his opinions and recommendations so as not alienate his base and source of income, it was the wellspring of your legitimacy. Now it's gone.
-You can't look at this set of facts and reasonably come to the conclusion that there was not coordinated electoral fraud. Too many eye witness affidavits testifying to things they did and saw which could only reasonably indicate beyond a reasonable doubt- remember the standard of proof here- electoral fraud... just those alone are enough. If this isn't fraud, then what would suffice to show fraud? Answer- nothing short of the perp's confession.
-You're retreating because you can't be a pariah, yet again or, maybe, even more. When you've inadvertantly navigated your way onto the Isle Of The Self Destructively Honest, you can't burn every bridge left back to the mainland.
