I covered the success percentage rate which I told you is void, the success of the operation in relation to other operations being quite a high rate of arrests considering it only lasted 2 weeks, you said another of your points was that I can't reasonably say 137 arrests aren't all that there are which I also covered by telling you I never claimed there are definitely more arrests than 137.
I covered the point you made about alternative methods used to catch the offenders
Which point did I miss?
The point that claiming it is a success with such paltry numbers is unwarranted. The point that this method isn't the only possible way to get the information from those using that site.

It's more sensible to compare the arrest rate to other operations which last 2 weeks and are of a similar nature.
Not so. You wish to use relative rates to judge the success or failure of an operation. If you scored a 45 on an examination, and then two weeks later you scored a 52, of course you've chalked up an improvement ... but you're still getting a failing grade.
I get it, I'm not going to change your mind. You're comfortable with law-enforcement officers breaking the law. You're comfortable with the idea that the ends justifies the means.
I'm not. You haven't made any robust case for me to change my mind, either.
