As with religious academic work, one can’t help but feel that the authors have a strong motivation to be partial with the data. I would like to see a believer in violent resistance try to make the opposite case, using similiarly selected data.
How do you count campaigns? When does one campaign bleed into another? how does a parallel or preceding violent campaign help or hinder a peaceful one?
These questions are very hard to deal with.
