Refs study

Anyone read the NBA referee study by those eggheads? I'm skeptical but curious. They have been getting roundly ripped by everyone in and around the league but all the criticism I've heard has been stupid. Barkley said, "of course they'll call more fouls on black players-there's more of them!" That's stupid. I'm sure these guys were smart enough to base their conclusions on frequency as opposed to raw totals. Kiki Vandeweghe said, "I majored in Statistics in college...you can make statistics say anything you want them to say." Again, royally stupid. It sounds as if none of these clowns has actually read it.
