Same with you, Tyrone. Or Chris. You've been dead wrong multiple times,
(Chris more than you though given you "appear" to be new here), so I don't
believe a word you or Chris state - without personally verifying it first.

 
I've shown you to be wrong multiple times and you rarely admit it. Unlike
you, I don't state publicly that I'm never wrong. I never lie, however,
also unlike you.

 
Hi Chris,
 
Once you found I was off by a decimal place on the percentage of Covid
deaths of children under the age of 11, where I profusely apologized for
the typo (since I had been quoting scientific results, where the delta was
actually in my favor, but nonetheless, I was off by a tenth nonetheless).

Yes, you only apologised because I made your argument stronger. Problem is
you lacked the ability to properly interpret the results in the wider
context.

If you can recall any other time I was wrong on the facts, please state
them here,

You were utterly wrong in claiming that iOS - quelle surprise! - had no
geofencing ability. You deemed the only option as a crappy unsupported app
with a handful low star reviews. I highlighted to you a very simple
Shortcut that met your supposed needs of an "elder" person iirc. No extra
software required and far more functional than your "solution". No thanks
or any response received.

as I have multiple higher degrees

lol. College degrees at best and you've only shown pictures of some old
books. You refused to accept my challenge of proving evidence.

which means I'm extremely well
aware that you must account for every fact when publicly stating them.

And yet you don't. Splattering your posts with nondescript links is not
"fact". Repeating yourself endlessly is not fact. Calling yourself an adult
and everyone else a child is not fact.

99% of what you call "fact" is actually opinion or perhaps an
extrapolation.

Just remember that I teach you Apple trolls hundreds of facts about Apple
per year that you don't like (such as the zero-day exploits always being
higher for iOS than for Android as compiled continually by CISA).
 
You not liking a bona fide fact does not mean that fact is wrong.

See? This link doesn't substantiate your claim. It's simply a data source.

Mostly what you don't agree with, since the only "facts" you know are what
Apple fed you to believe, are my *assessments* of those facts you hate.

Projection. I don't believe anyone makes baseless assertions. Apple, you,
Trump, religious fanatics, etc, etc.

A fact is Apple's promised iOS support is shorter than that of Samsung's.
An assessment is Apple's iOS support sucks compared to that of Samsung's.

This is a perfect example of your bias. You value a written statement more
than actual evidence.

Yes, Samsung ( and google) has promised 7 years of support for new phones
from the end of last year sometime.

And yes, Apple has recently stated publicly that they will support iphones
for at least 5 years.

On the face of it 5 < 7.

Apple, however, has a very well evidenced history of fully supporting
iphones for 5-8 years. For example, the Xs, Xs Max and Xr models launched
in 2018 are still fully supported and will be until at least September.

Samsung (and google) has historically only supported phones for as little
as three years:

https://endoflife.date/pixel

So Samsung needed to up their game and won't catch up with Apple with real
world evidence for a few years yet.

One is a fact that you Apple trolls are completely unaware of and which you
Apple trolls hate because you believed iOS support was longer than Android,
where I'm specifically comparing Apple & Samsung as the dominant players
each in their market.

You've cherry picked your "fact" to suit your bias.

You told me yourself that you had a doctorate in the biological sciences,

Correct.

Chris, and yet you didn't even know what a "vehicle" was, which, let's be
clear (since I do have a biological science undergrad degree) every single
student of immunology knows full well is a common term.
 
You also claimed the genome of SARS-Cov-2 was not large when I said it was
huge for an RNA viral particle, and again, it shows you have no training
whatsoever in microbiology (whereas I do), and you never apologized.

Neither of those things happened. Your bias is showing again.

You simply doubled down Chris - where anyone with a "doctorate" in the
biological sciences would NOT say such stupid things as you did, Chris.

Again, didn't happen. You wouldn't accept you used valid terminology
incorrectly.

Utter crap. You don't know what facts are. You are only interested in bias.

 
Well, there is what you call "bias" in that I have no love for Apple.
An example of "bias" might be the sentence I purposefully write below...
 
Apple only tells the truth, in court, and Apple's well-paid lawyers weren't
forced to tell the truth about why iOS 10.2.1 suddenly changed battery
chemistry & physics this time because they paid half a billion dollars in a
single settlement, where the agreement is they don't have to admit guilt.

I mean the cynicism is clear for all to read. That is not an unbiased
interpretation of the facts. By any estimation.

Thanks for confirming your anti-Apple tropes.

To an Apple troll, that means Apple was completely innocent. No guilt.
To an adult, there's a different assessment.
 
I make assessments based on the facts.
You do not.
 
You call that bias.
I call that critical thinking skills.

You literally have no idea.

In decades on Usenet, I've never been wrong, or, if I was, and if it was
corrected, I have sought out th truth and then corrected it such that the
end result is that I've never been wrong in my facts during the decades.

 
That's the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time.

 
Heh heh heh... a both a scientist and an engineer, I'm well educated.

Reading a few books doesn't make you either.
