You write, "Kamat went on to say that these results meant that patients where BCG was limited were undergoing radical cystectomies 300 times more often than patients in regions where BCG was available. He not only said it orally but it was spelled out on a slide."
You called him out correctly for confusing 3 and 300, a big confusion. But you didn't apply your earlier point that this is 200% more, not 300% more.
He's actually taking the 300% and saying it is 4 times.
Good one.
One correction.

Good point. I debated getting into that but I thought I would pick the low hanging fruit.
BTW, you are the person who caught me when I would make this mistake. So this Substack post is really a tribute to you. Thanks, David.
Thanks, Charley. And you're welcome.
