How can you say "I assume" things which are literally SAID in the parent comment? Do you know what "assume" means?

As for the "all we know" thesis, for all you know the Sun might not rise tomorrow. But odds are it will. And therefore all thought process and decision making is made on odds. Not on absolute, perfect certainty.

And the odds are that management decisions at McDonald's have a higher quality data sourcing and analysis process, and have spent more time figuring a problem out, than bunch of random people on Hacker News, who spoke about McDonald's that day simply because they saw a tweet about it.

But of course, "for all we know" maybe the Einstein of fast food is here among us, so who knows?!
