What I did write are the following facts:

3- there has been no peer reviewed study showing that the 1500 hour rule has made flying safer (please show me otherwise, I would like to read it!)
Nice try though.
Ok! It really seems like you have been arguing to get rid of the rule but whatever.
1- who cares?
2- who cares? I don't believe you but even if that's true who cares?
3- who cares? There hasn't been a peer reviewed study either way.
None of those 'facts,' even if true, are a good enough reason to go back to the old way. Result: Status quo. Why change it? What possible reason would there be to get rid of the rule? It
seems like it's helped so let's let sleeping dogs lie.
Bad pretenses aren't a reason per se to get rid of a law or rule that can stand on its own merits
