Ipnon's claim was explicitly stated to follow from just one datum, thus:

>The main calculator used in the US to calculate 10-year risk of cardiovascular incident literally cannot compute scores for people under 40. There are two consequences to this....

And the first claim:

> If you are under 40 you will never encounter a physician who believes you are at risk of heart attack or stroke.

If that's not hyperbolic, where's your evidence that it even just close to being the case?

yes, the word “never” is hyperbolic, while the words “relatable shared experience” are not

In this case, it would still be incorrect and uninformed if one were to substitute "frequently" or "routinely" for "always". The problem is not just a careless choice of qualifier.

I specifically directed my reply to you to where you had said, in response to Rscho's criticism of Ipon's hyperbolic claim, "then the entire medical industry is failing at communicating that", where "that" is what Rscho said in response to Ipon's hyperbole. I stand by my position that it can hardly be faulted for not preemptively responding to such nonsense, regardless of whatever you see/imagine as being relatable shared experiences.
