There seems to be some difficulty in appreciating hyperbole being used for throwaway comic effect as well. Yes, it's always convenient to claim 'comedy' after being proven wrong.

Not really, it's all about being correct and admitting that fact when facts are presented supporting that 'correct' viewpoint. The problem is that some on here can't even admit they are wrong when black & white facts are put right in front of them such as the impossibility of 'driving across most EU countries in 45 mins'. Sure, but you did make the claim that a certain section of America are like they are due to a lack of travelling. If we all had to speak in facts and statistics without colourful opinions it would be awfully dry. I have both an appreciation of accuracy and hard to prove opinion. Both make regular appearances on Hol.
