I’m sure they were already planning the migration...
- imwillofficial 6y agoYou couldn’t possibly be sure unless you were involved. Were you?
- andybak 6y agoNo need to be so literal. "I'm sure" is just a way of saying "I strongly suspect" in this context. Nobody would take that as a statement of fact. (and "nobody" is intended to mean "few" in this context. Language is a funny thing, eh?)
- imwillofficial 6y agoThe point was to call into question their misplaced confidence. Not only were they wrong, they stated it boldly. They had no grounds to “strongly suspect” Yes, language is a funny thing.
- andybak 6y ago> Not only were they wrong, You sound remarkably confident as well. Were you there? (This isn't going to look so good for me if the answer is "yes" but what the hell) :-)
- imwillofficial 6y agoTouche, you win this round, friend hahahah
