source on that?

I think it was pretty obvious that it was an evaluation the commenter was making, not something that came from another source.

That makes me wonder whether you were being sincere in your response, and if not, what you thought you were contributing.

[CaptSpify]

I'm contributing skepticism. How many arrests statistically lead to convictions? I suspect it's high, but if it's not, then his statement is untrue. I also don't see how it's obvious that was his intent, as I obviously don't see it as meaning that.

[glial]

Statistics has nothing to do with it. People should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. I am honestly shocked that this appears to be a controversial assertion.

How did what I say imply otherwise? I completely agree with that statement.
