I don’t understand your point regarding Footsteps. I asked him and open-ended question: what is the ratio between OTD boys and girls? How does the fact that they hate Orthodox Jews sway their answer? “Who is wise? One who learns from all people . . . accept the truth from one who says it.”
Let’s use Israel as an example regarding the early death factor: By the time they are in their mid-thirties, men and women are equal in number.
