@firefly,

A recent study found that 85% of those incarcerated for child porn admitted they had actually molested a child, even though these crimes had never been reported.
Let 's take a step back, for perspective.
Does this logically prove (or logically support the probability)
of the conclusion that u seek to prove?? Does it demonstrate
a causal relationship??
If that study had found that more than 85% of incarcerated child porn owners wear shoes,
does that indicate that owning child porn yields a disproportionate craving for shoes??
I am no statistician, but as a layman concerning statistics,
my reasoning tells me that a better question, a more indicative question, is:
how many people who have
perpetrated sexual violence against children have collected child porn?
Indeed, for the sake of argument, let us take the idea a step further,
in a thought experiment:
suppose,
Firefly, that it were discovered and statistically proven to your satisfaction,
that owners of child porn had a significantly
lower rate of sexual crime against anyone
( e.g., if their emotions were fully satisfied by the
pictures alone, not on any human being ).
Woud u then adopt the belief that the intense emotion that has been generated
on the subject of child porn ownership was not appropriate, irrelevant to public safety?
