Yes, and your accusation in that post was that the authors of scientific studies on the wage gap were guilty of using the data to reach that conclusion, which is false. That is the point on which I was correcting you. You've now moved your goalposts to claiming that other people misuse the data, but that is not what you claimed originally, and not what I was responding to.
Indeed, I made this point about the limitations of BLS data directly in my post. If you were to go back to the very first time I responded to you on this subject, you will find that there I also made the distinction about what the BLS data supports and does not support vis-a-vis discrimination very clear. You will find that I have always quite charitably clarified that the BLS data does not support strong claims of discrimination in and of itself. I have always instead provided other studies which use other data to reach measures of discrimination, as well as other related factors.
You are welcome to accuse me of dishonesty as much as you like, but all of this confirms in my view what I said originally: you haven't made the effort necessary to even follow my arguments, so your accusations on this are pretty empty.
