Too bad you don’t consider yourself qualified to give an opinion on the actual thread. Does not take much RE knowledge to take the debated statement to task though.
Often your statement of the truth lying in the middle would be wise.
In this case I submit that the difference between the numbers claimed and the numbers likely, do not lie anywhere near the middle. Sometimes the truth is in the middle sometimes a position is wildly wrong. It happens.
But thanks for pointing out that I should not expect a reasonable debate foundation.
