nice way to invalidate my whole argument

1 comments

If you want to present an extreme figure and are unwilling to back it up with even anecdotes, you don't have an argument
I already stated my argument, you're the one who's trying to invalidate it without offering any counter argument
You have claimed 99% users of this website are software engineers

That is an extraordinary claim, and thus requires extraordinary evidence

that wasn't even the point of my comment, you're insisting on derailing my argument and reducing it to something I cannot verify, and seriosuly, wtf do you think HN users are? housewives or wall street bankers? HN is an online community for tech workers especially software engineers, insisting on giving the evidence that 99% exactly of the users are software engineers is childish to say the least
