> I think 99% of people would take that as confirmation

I think people are waaaayyy to confident that their perspective sits in the 99% majority. I realize you're being hyperbolic, but I'd expect this percentage to be closer to 50% myself.

Outside of criminal convictions and some other special cases, minimally over 50% is often sufficient for the law.
I'm not debating that, just critiquing the belief that one's own perspective is the near-universal one (especially in this instance when it's quite evident in the comments not to be the case).
