That’s a pretty extraordinary claim. Do you have anything quantitative to back it up? HN has bots, I think that is a fair assumption, but half? How do you know that for sure?

  • How have you gotten as far in life as you have without understanding what a casual, hyperbolic statement is?

    • TIL that statements of obvious exaggeration are called causal, hyperbolic statements. Who knew?

      All kidding aside, I've never heard them called causal hyperbolic before. It's a good term.
