If you clearly believe there's no factual basis for the commissioner's view, that her view is based upon a projection, then presumably...and it's a projection widely shared among pretty well everybody outside of the Department of the Environment. I would have thought that for the point of clarification, for the point of defending the department, you would have said, “Well, we don't actually agree with that statement”.
