The Phoenix Center is a non-profit research institution under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and, as such, we do not seek to influence the political process by participating as a party in any regulatory proceeding or engaging in lobbying of legislatures. Instead, we try to publish timely research and post it on our web page in the hope and intention of contributing positively to the public dialectic.

As our work continues to disseminate, however, various people have authored critiques of our various analyses. To this end, we believe it appropriate to consider formally these various comments as there is always the possibility that critical review, even when adversarial rather than academic in nature, may prove useful in improving our analyses or, in some cases, reveal trivial or substantial flaws that we may have inadvertently committed or overlooked. Moreover, such comments are also useful in providing direction for future research.

We leave it to the discerning public, armed with our research and all relevant documents (all made freely available at the Phoenix Center website), to make an educated decision on the validity of our work and the criticisms of it. Regardless, we appreciate the attention (adversarial or not), which signifies the relevance of our efforts.
