I found a factual error on a Reuters article, the discussion of this can be found here:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/79509358

We all know some people will often ignore other's valid arguments on CE (and on the internet at large), so I made a poll to see just what percent of people will reject something that is obviously true because they engage every argument on an emotional level and not on a critical thinking level.

Apparently that number is 35/57 or 61.4%:



Which is interesting because of the email I just got today:


https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vaers-deaths-idUSL1N2MZ2H8



Reuters confirms it, joe40001 was right, 61.4% of CE was wrong.

Now the easy thing to do in this circumstance would be to gloat...

Considering your slavish devotion to statistics, as shown in this topic and the last one, it's surprising you can't distinguish between "x% of CE" and "x% of voters in my poll"

You have serious issues, my dude. Take a break from the internet for a while, it's not healthy to care this much about this.

Also maybe consider thinking about WHY so many people would vote no just to spite you? You're the common denominator there, just stop for a second and think about it, maybe it's because you're kind of an insufferable lunatic?

There are several grammar errors in TC's post, as well as him asserting that the percentage of poll voters is the same as the percentage of users on Current Events.

Since every line of text is a mini-headline of factual importance, as any adult who reads knows, I would request TC to officially retract his statement and correct it.
