  You criticised their guess as baseless just to follow up by denying their numbers without sources. Only one of you two chose to present a fact without backing it up. There's also this gesture of assuming that the opponent is motivated by evil intentions, which is almost always wrong. On topic though: Our conversation could really benefit from some actual numbers. I made a quick search but didn't find anything.
