      Exact and false numbers given as proportions aren’t hyperbole, they’re misrepresentations, ie lies.

            It’s a hypothetical. Not misinformation. It’s a hypothetical argument meant to make a philosophical point, not to be a case study on sociological statistics

            You fucking dipshits getting hung up on the wrong thing means you don’t have enough brain cells to process the argument at hand.
