My point stands

But your stats are from your ass.

Are you acting obtuse on purpose?

As I said the range is anywhere from 1-5 million a year.

You can take your petroleum apologist nonsense somewhere else. Imagine someone bootlicking when then know millions of people have died and will continue to die.

If you want to argue scientifically, you have to be precise.

You're doing the facebook boomer thing btw.

Which is what?

Note, I'm not disagreeing with the guy. I'm helping them make better arguments.

Constantly moving goal posts in order to discredit a true fact because the way it was presented is not precise. This isn't a scientific debate. This isn't a paper. It's a generic social media forum and people generally understand, barring any social development conditions, that exaggeration is acceptable as long as the general idea is true, even hyperbolic exaggeration. Everyone does this constantly in normal every day conversations. Conversations don't stop and wait for you to look up something that ultimately is at best a minor correction, because it's not needed and frankly its silly.
