You aren't arguing, you're just saying that the numbers are wrong with stupid arguments (ie. VAGUE references to events that no one else remembers, rejection of numbers-based comparison in general, etc.)
You people all IGNORED Darkstar's website which gave some valuable points even if it was byesed.
Bullshit. I wrote a HUGE FUCKING REBUTTAL of DarkStar's website. I pointed out what was wrong with it, and why his conclusions were flawed. You ignored my rebuttal.
And another thing, if the books are supposedly canon and they remain constant with the films, then what do you have to worry about leaving them out of the debate?
Bullshitters like Anderson like to remove as much evidence as possible from the debates. That way, they can nitpick minutiae about incidents (ie. Were the asteroids in the Hoth belt really made of iron? They COULD have been made of granite, and you can't prove their composition). It makes things much easier if you have a wider selection of evidence to show, so that general trends appear more easily than if you are looking at a few scattered data points.
If Star Wars is truely more powerful than Star Trek then whats wrong with just using onscreen evidence? Answer this question and don't ignore it.
There's nothing wrong with it perse, it just doesn't match at all with Lucasfilm canon policy. Almost all debaters accept that Lucasfilm (and, indirectly, George Lucas) have the final say on what is and is not in the saga of Star Wars. There are some people who do only use onscreen evidence, but it makes things more difficult and needlessly complicates the debate as nitpick and red-herring after nitpick and red-herring are used to dismiss almost every incident in Star Wars.
