I *guess* they hinge their whole argument on the fact that the Census Bureau quintiles have unequal "populations" in them.

Somehow I trust the Census Bureau's techniques by far over the Heritage organization. The Census Bureau has been using various methods for well over a hundred years... long before there were MBAs and other 'statisticians' paid for specific results.
