Do you know the difference between the words "is" and "was"?
Do you?
"Is" refers to the current state. "Was" refers to a previous state. In the context of "data from 1989 describing the relative difference in ages between pregnant teenage rape victims and their attackers", should we be using "is bleak" or "was bleak"?
Does this data describe anything at all about the current state? Or is this data limited solely to a previous state?
In answering, keep in mind that I provided "age of motherhood" data, indicating considerable changes have occurred since the 1989 data was tabulated.
I wasn't asking you? Are you mixing up your real account and your fake cheerleader account?
Ah, it must be someone posting on multiple accounts! There couldn't possibly be more than one person pointing out your seemingly limited reading comprehension in response to your posts in a public space.
To answer your original question, yes I do understand how time works and the difference in present and past tense, something you're clearly forgetting exists. Or maybe you're ignoring that to try and justify your previous comments to yourself because you can't accept you were wrong.
You posted from the wrong account again. ;-)
It is possible they multiple people disagree with you. Extremely likely in fact.
Especially given your proven inability to read.
