“Do You Think That I Should Lie About My Belief? Should I Say That It Appears to Me That the Greaney Retirement Study Contains a Valuation Adjustment Even Though My Sincere Belief Is That It Lacks One?”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

“By the way, your opinion of what one guy said is not ‘peer-reviewed research’.”

Do you think that I should lie about my belief? Should I say that it appears to me that the Greaney retirement study contains a valuation adjustment even though my sincere belief is that it lacks one?

I think that getting the numbers right in retirement studies is an important matter. I think that I should say what I sincerely believe. I think that we all should follow that practice.
