snipped]

Well, since I quoted from them it's pretty obvious I did. My point,
of course, is that your claim appears to be false, since you can't
support it.

(shrugs) That's odd debating style -- make a statement that you can't
back up, then post a bunch of "sources" that don't support it, then
turn abusive when someone calls your bluff.

And now you're claiming 80%, even less than the 85% that you couldn't
support. Yeah, I'm gonna believe you ... NOT.
