Andy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If I quote a statistic in numbers then that will have been looked up and verified from the published research paper from which it was drawn. I do that 24.7% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 what about those who seem to have an obsession with posting links to Wikipedia Wiki is a lot more accurate than any of your "facts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobbo Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 43.64% of SF users use percentages to give their posts credence when they're really just plucked out of thin air! : Of these, 23.92% drink coffee whilst posting. 16.4% of this being Puerto Rican, 12.6% Brazilian, 42.8% own brand whilst the other 4.28% just don't care. The non coffee drinkers (76.08%) who drink liquid whilst posting are split fairly equally between Tea, water, fruit juice and alcohol (alcohol content average being around 4.5%) Government figures show that overall, 63.7% of all fora statistics are made up Seriously though... where do posters get some of their statistics from?

flamingjimmy Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's not a fact if it's only 99% ...1% say it isn't ..fact! (I'm getting mixed up now!) lol pedant fail! The sentence "99% say it does not matter , fact." is worded in such a way that it says that it is a fact that 99% of people say it doesn't matter. The fact that 1% of people do not agree does not contradict this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobbo Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Source FACT. Thanks for the link chem1st. Now that you've backed up your claims I really can't argue with you. Also, I drink water whilst posting - which also backs up your claim. And .... your breakdowns add up 100%. Can't fault you there. What can I say, except I believe you ..... 110% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
