18. The numbers in the article are not true

Which is kind of the whole problem with this stuff. They conflate and confound all kinds of numbers to give a false impression to the reader that things are "not quite right" and very suspicious.

But when I got to the "it's a bajillion odds!" paragraph, I actually laughed out loud.

I cannot believe anyone believes this. I can forgive not knowing the numbers offhand - I just spent no minor amount of time combing news articles and Michigan databases in order to understand what the real numbers were.

But the "totally bajillions of odds!" part is so ridiculous on the surface, it should be disqualifying by itself to a rational reader.
