      You don’t think it’s important to know the ACTUAL numbers when discussing issues?

      If I said 50 million people were eaten by sharks each year and tried to convince my local town to ban swimming, don’t you think it’s important I get the number right?

      The numbers presented in the original quote were basically off by 1000x. We’re not talking nit-picking here. It’s off by orders of magnitude.
