Christopher probably has no data about what the majority of humanity  
thinks about the matter either ;-), but considering he only confesses  
to ignorance regarding the minuscule Iranian part of that humanity, I  
see no issue. He can with consistency make pronouncements about the  
majority of humanity without having any data on Iranians. Also, his  
posts are amusing, so I vote to retain his general license to opine  
without facts. ;-)
