Am I missing a more biting objection to odds ratios? To my mind, while relative rates are superficially intuitive, odds ratios are more robust as effect measures. Surely it is better to fit a logistic regression, and iff your audience won't stomach ORs, to use -margins- to present more digestible summaries?
