Abstract

There is still a controversy over adjusting the census because the statistical adjustment of the census did not work in 1990, nor did it work in 2000. The adjustment process, in both theory and practice, is complicated and flawed. The chance of it working in future censuses without major changes is small. Anderson and Fienberg continue to twist language and report partial results in order to confuse the debate.
