"In patients with schizophrenia, 1054 (13.2%) had at least 1 violent offense compared with 4276 (5.3%)"

thats a 2.5 difference in patients with schizophrenia compared to the general population

That is simply not true though. Substance abuse changes the rate at which it happens but Substance abuse seems to have a high comorbidity with Schizophrenia and while the rate is significantly lower when there are no substance issues it is still higher. Substance abuse, per the link you provided, creates a 3rd and fourth population subset (1: schizophrenics 2: neurotypical 3:Schizophrenics with Substance abuse 4: NT with Substance abuse) Which after your response, seems like you're being intentionally misleading in order prove your point.
