You’re assuming they are accurately describing results of the field. They are not and in fact the field didn’t come up with such quotable round numbers.

I can point to plenty of research that says otherwise, but when you quote someone saying 1 + 2 = 4, they don’t merit a more comprehensive rebuttal but to simply point and laugh.

The guy being quoted presumably came up with numbers from thin air which is why they both don’t make sense and don’t line up with actual research.
