The university of Washington did not hallucinate the data, they have imperfect data and admitted it to be so. The fact that the data is imperfect does not mean that the opposite of what has been observed by outside parties has been happening, ie continued famine and stagnating development, vs the reality of increased food security and industrialization across the board. It also does not mean the findings themselves are wrong. Based on our best estimations based on available data, there is nothing pointing to what you are claiming.
Meanwhile, you're sharing no data. You just rely on vibes, and when your vibes run counter to outside estimation based on what we do know, you say it's "invalid." Where's your data supporting your initial claims?
