If I have a "bug in my ear" it's because you have consistently been condescending and either have very poor reading comprehension or are willfully misinterpreting what I've written - I don't take kindly to that.

I made a note about OR that seemed to fail even at a basic level of reasonableness and asked for citations... the text has been changed and it's properly sourced... how is this at all an issue? --
