which proves consistency of that model (2SLAD) for the structural
parameter \beta which determines the conditional mean of y = X\beta.
That's the conditional mean, not median. I.e. not the usual
interpretation of LAD in terms of quantile regression; see e.g.
Koenker and Hallock 2001:

If you have survey data, read Stas K.'s refs in
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-09/msg00147.html
