As an observer without any kind of knowledge in the transactions happening in the dark web, how do you estimate the number of transactions of anything, be it drugs or passports, without getting into anecdotal evidence, since it's essentially decentralized? Genuinely curious.
What I'm trying to say is, both of you guys have the credentials (at a cursory glance) to convince lay persons. But you have conflicting statements. So how do I, a lay person with a keyboard, decide which side I want to be on?
EDIT: Going by his replies, I made my decision in your favor, but this question might still help others on the fence, and I'd like to be educated myself.
