Remember how that discussion was originally about you saying he said that Obama "degraded" the office of the presidency, he posted quotes of himself that said Obama "lowered" the office of the presidency and not "degraded" and proved your dumb claims wrong, you tried to play semantics over it, and then you moved the goalposts and were like "Just like you said you didn't say Obama lowered the office of the presidency?"?
Remember that? Because it was pretty fucking hilarious.
Watch now as you deflect madly once again to cover up your own extreme levels of stupidity in just a minute.

So first- recall my statement that it's incredibly rare outside of severe mental illness. Secondly, we've been talking about cases where someone specific is accused. The vast majority of cases deemed to be false rape cases don't involve an accusation against someone.
The UK did a study on this, and only 39 out of 216 false rape claims involved naming a specific person. This study is one the most comprehensive studies of false rape claims ever made. So that means that only about 18% of false rape claims involved a specific person being accused.
Based on the FBI study you cited and the UK study, that means that we're talking about a [.9% - (% of accounts from people with severe mental illness)] chance that this story is a false accusation.
So yes, false accusations against specific people are incredibly rare
The spin is happening! It's happening!
time4fun: "We can just discount the idea that she is suffering from mental illness! That's just impossible!"
To whom did she originally tell her story to?
time4fun: "Her therapist of course, silly!"
I can't even begin to make this shit up, it's just that fucking bizarre.
