You are welcome to believe what you want. But I think it's comical to say that his figures aren't opinions. If they aren't opinions, then everyone that uses his system would come up with the same numbers for each race. There wouldn't be decisions to be made on whether or not to split a variant or use a single one. There wouldn't be a need to use previous races or projections because if it was all cut and dried and no opinion was put into the equation, we'd all get the same number. The simple fact that all systems aren't the same means that there are differing opinions on what should go into a system to make it a good one.
