    Math? You did math to get those numbers? I can get numbers from doing math too, see? 2^16 = 65536. Do those numbers mean anything to this situation? Of course not because they’re pulled out of thin bloody air. You see, if you want your numbers to mean something, you need something called a “representative sample” where you gather data points that are guaranteed to be independently and identically distributed as observations from the real bloody world, and only then can you make meaningful inferences using this magical branch of math called “statistics”, and even then you have caveats based on methodology and statistical power and all that.

    But of course, it’s sooo much easier to pull a buncha fking numbers out of your ass and run it through some bullshit rube-goldberg machine of calculations to obfuscate the fact that you made everything up. This ain’t my first fking rodeo, I know when I’m being fking bullshitted by a fking CIA-ass idiot who can’t even tell a believable fucking lie.
