Which is why I said that was a “woefully low underestimation”.

It’s like saying there are more than 35 million U.S. citizens. That statement may be technically true but is useless because it is so much smaller than the actual number to make the estimation completely useless.

Shall we go around in circles again?

but in this case the low number was more than sufficient to make the poster's point.

if someone is responding to a claim that there is one person living in america, replying with "no, there's more than 35 million" is perfectly fine.

That is only your personal opinion and will reflect your bias. You're in attack mode and attacking the wrong people. You need a break
