      Mistakes happen, and the resulting figures are easily verifiable. There’s no need to be so combative.

        > There’s no need to be so combative. Did you reply to the wrong comment? I didn't argue against their position.

          From HN’s guidelines: When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
