I mean, I'm happy to go back and forth with you on the theory and philosophy here, but we aren't going to come to any defensible conclusions on the actual numbers just by reaching a compromise with each other. That's not how science works, right? I'm not a researcher on this subject, and I suspect that you aren't either (no offense). All we have is the numbers that the real researchers have turned up. I do think it would be a mistake to assume that a person's likelihood of lying about something …

Right, good point. If a peer-reviewed empirical study has findings that don't match your preconceived notion, it's not even worth considering.

What? What studies? This 2017 study showed a lifetime prevalence closer to 16%, annual prevalence about 3%: http://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Ffam0000280 EDIT: Similar findings here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352250X16300227
