Please. No credible person has ever suggested that "95% certainty" should have been the threshold. But something more than rhetoric about mushroom clouds and bunch of false information would have been nice.
Given that, calling this discussion "objective" is up there with talking about the $10 trillion budget in the annals of Club-dom.
