You are the one who started referring to the FAKE NEWS
claim that Disney+ paid $200,000,000 for Doctor Whoke.
There is no evidence whatsoever for such a deal.

You've got the wrong man. I never claimed any such thing.
That is either a bare faced lie or you have made a genuine
mistake. I do not use figures like that as I doubt the
BBC/Disney deal would have been for anywhere near that
amount.

Please provide a message ID to one of my posts where I have

"At a guess, Disney put a lot more $ in to The Acolyte and
didn't expect the return they got! They wouldn't have spent
half as much for the Doctor Who streaming rights."

 So where have I stated Disney paid $200m to the BBC? What you
have posted does not back up your argument one bit, as I said
they WOULDN'T have spent half as much. Which in English means,
nowehere near the amount they [reportedly] spent on the Acolyte.
 

In English half as much means 50%. Not spending half as much usually implies spending something in the region of about 40% instead.

I am assuming that as an educated person you know what the word
wouldn't means!

Wouldn't spend half as much implies something less than 50% and more than nothing and usually nearer the higher end than the lower, otherwise a person would say I wouldn't spend a third or a quarter of what they are spending if they meant something lower since those are the next lowest fractions in the sequence.
So the figure you were actually claiming automatically quantified the upper bound as 1/2 and the lower bound as 1/3 by exclusion of anything lower. If you take the mid point ie. (1/2 + 1/3)/2 = (5/6)/2 = 5/12 you get approximately 42%.
If Disney+ are spending 250 million of the first season of the Wokolyte as claimed by the FAKE NEWS and 100 million on the first season of Doctor Whoke, also as claimed by the FAKE NEWS, then that's around 40% ((100/250) * 100) of the budget of the Wokolyte.

 But of course, you don't admit you got something wrong or
apologise for saying I said something that I clearly didn't. We
all make mistakes but I know what I typed. You just get carried
away and then double-down.

You went along with the FAKE NEWS narrative. You are allowed to admit that the FAKE NEWS deceived you just like they do everyone.

 NOT ONCE have I used any figure, the only person using the $200m
figure in this thread is you! But you then went and moved the
goal posts, like you do, and switched the argument around.

I've not moved any goal posts. The FAKE NEWS claimed Disney spent $250 million on one season of the Wokolyte and $100 million on one season of Doctor Whoke. You went along with that narrative by implying the same ratio between shows. Not spending half as much implies spending around 40%.

 

This ultimately derives from the false narrative made up by
the FAKE NEWS which claims Disney spent $250 million on the
Wokolyte for one season and $200 million for the rights to
Doctor Whoke for 2 seasons, so they spent less than half as
much on Doctor Whoke as they spent on the Wokolyte. Either way
what they spent on one season of Doctor Whoke is barely 1/20th
of what they spent on the Whokolyte going by the production
values for each series, which proves the FAKE NEWS are making
it all up.

 BUT I NEVER CLAIMED DISNEY SPENT ANYTHING ON ANYTHING. I do not

You claimed Disney spent around 40% on Doctor Whoke as they did on The Wokolyte.

use figures that come from YouTube videos. Which is why I am
always telling YOU not to believe what you see on a YouTube
channel. THAT is where you are getting your fake news from.
 

The figures come from the FAKE NEWS not YouTube. YouTuber's are merely repeating them.
