You've been told several times, by several different people, that in assessing the success or failure of a specific effort, it's only valid to look at the situation immediately before and immediately after the effort. Going further down the road confounds the picture and you can no longer draw valid conclusions.

I now want to do a study to determine if the US Constitution is successful today. Does that mean I need to assess conditions in the US just prior and after 1787? Or do I assess conditions in the US as of 1992 when the last amendment was ratified? Because all of us no that conditions today have remain unchanged since 1992.

Anyone with a smidgen of common sense knows that you are making an obvious blunder. Conditions change all the time, and to determine the effectiveness of anything, you use the most recent data.

And now you are also calling me a liar that I was not responsible for the southwest Brooklyn Bus changes. The final report is still available at the main Brooklyn library so you can see for yourself how to write a proper report (and my name is all over it) where we disclosed the advantages as well as the disadvantages of the plan, not only the positives as DOT and the MTA is doing with SBS.

We were fair with the communities and they appreciated our honesty. We didn't have to ramrod anything through. Incidentally, the MTA made a few changes to the parts of the plan they accepted, and those didn't last very long. One of their changes caused 300 people to demonstrate in the street until the change was reversed. My plan received only one written complaint.
