I should think 99% of the people are wrong
when commenting on something 99% of them have no experience about.

Hell, just start a PC/MAC debate, or PS3/XBox and you'll have a 50/50 split of opposing views, and this is for something there are hard and fast facts about. Usually a good percentage of both sides are wrong.

This is why I said
'all of the time'.

It's quite possible to be the one person in a hundred who is right, occasionally. It's rather improbable that it happens every time.

I'm talking in general. If you're still butthurt about what I said yesterday, it's your problem. You are assuming that because you're a karate instructor, I know nothing about Karate.

That doesn't actually work, does it?

However...
If I think of a number, or watch a film, or anything another 99 people haven't an idea what it was, what are the odds of the 99% being right and 1% wrong?

This is what I'm saying is the case in my original post. Twist the argument to suit your case all you want, you'll still be wrong.

As for assuming you know nothing about karate, it's not from my 36+ years of experience, if from the lack of knowledge displayed in your posts. That does actually work.

Those debates...
... PS3/XBox, Windows/Linux, PC/Mac, iOS/Android, etc/etc, are even more depressing when thanks to being a techy sort of guy in a techy sort of industry you've quite commonly had to use both, for the same tasks, over an extended period of time. By which I mean months or years, not "I played with it in a shop having decided beforehand that I wasn't going to like it" which is the usual bleated excuse as to why Device X must suck and all the millions of people who bought it are wrong and should have had Device Y instead.

I remember talking to this with a guy who moderated a gaming community once, for him to point out something interesting - the people he most commonly had to pull up for going truly overboard on X-vs-Y console arguments didn't own one or the other... they owned neither. I suppose it makes sense as this group is going to be the most susceptible to believing untruths in either direction about each platform (the lies:truth ratio in a typical iOS vs. Android debate would make a political manifesto look honest).
