What is extremely rare but people think it’s very common?

I read the first few pages of the article you linked, and it was such wingnuttery I stopped. It's a work of fiction. The author insists over and over that McDowell concludes 60% of rape allegations are false. It's actually 40%. If you can't get that detail right, the most important fact, you are robbed of credibility in anything else you say. The author repeatedly insists that 27% of subjects admitted lying. It was 20%. The author is a boob. The author insists that the study is not credible because each fact that implicates a woman is "accumulating evidence of falsehood." Duh. That's the point. A lot of facts taken together lead to a conclusion. Most incredibly, the list of criteria and coding system bear no resemblance to McDowell's system. I don't know if the author of your article made it up, or borrowed it from someone who did, but it's fictitious. In turn, the items you cherry picked from the fictitious set are only more kook because your conceal the context. Your conclusion is dishonest. You assert that if the coding system will find a woman to have lied if she (1) drinks alcohol, (2) engages in high risk behavior, (3) received "threatening poetry," (4) and wants to be treated by a female physician. You made that up. It's not McDowell's coding system, and it doesn't appear in the article you cited. Why did you fabricate a fake story?
