Because:

1) I've provided links to studies that are specifically contrary to his statement.
2) Because he has stated that determining motive in mass shooting cases is "usually an exercise in fruitless speculation and wasted resources".

You and Finn are stating that he didn't say that - even though the quote was provided by Finn.

The quote from Knoll was provided by Finn in response to links to a study that I provided that indicated that motive was a kay part of the profiling exercise for a mass shooter.
