"Confirmation"

I love it when I receive an email that goes something like this:

"Dr Frank, I've downloaded the registration rolls for my state and performed the analysis you've described in your talks. I'm having a bit of trouble with xxxx, can you look at my spreadsheet and tell me what I am missing?"

Or, like this:

"Dr Frank, I've downloaded the registration rolls for my state and performed the analysis you've described in your talks. The polynomial is there, just like you predicted. I'd like to add the 2019 population data to my graphs as well. Where did you get it?"

Or, like this:

"Dr Frank, I work for xxxx [businesses and government agencies] and I don't want anyone to know that I did this work, or I will lose my job. But here is my complete analysis of my state, along with the source data. It confirms precisely what you said it would. Use it as you will, just keep me out of it!"

There are about a dozen or so people around the country (that I know of) that have reproduced the county level Registration Key analysis for their state.

Math is math. 2 + 2 = 4. It doesn't matter who does it.

My work has been reproduced by many folks. If you don't believe it, try it yourself! Get the data for a single county in your state and get to work. Then send me your work at DrDouglasGFrank@outlook.com. I'll even give you a shout-out if you want it.
