Be honest. You’re a high school dropout posting from your mom’s basement, aren’t you?

You’re misusing the concept of “fact vs opinion“(more words you don’t understand). The concept that you’re actually struggling to communicate is “accurate vs inaccurate.” Estimates, like other data, can be either accurate or inaccurate. What evidence do you have that the estimate quoted in this piece is inaccurate? And why are you completely ignoring the rest of the data in the article?

Yeah, I’m guessing that you don’t know what that word means either.

LMAO are you serious? You don’t understand any of this at all, do you?

Why do keep editing your posts after I respond to them?

“Estimate” does not mean “just make up a number.” This is something that people typically learn in grade school.

Ah, I see now. You don’t understand what words mean.

I don’t think anyone here has any idea what it is that you think you are trying to say.

You’re alleging that Business Insider is just making up the quotes and data in this article?

That’s relevant how exactly?

That isn’t the problem here.

This is the correct answer. Another factor is that the body stores thiamine in the liver, and chronic alcoholics often have damaged livers.
