Oh, and my biggest pet peeve on this site is the constant misuse of the word hypocrisy. Please educate yourself on the meaning so you dont keep using it. Also go look up logical fallacies. More specifically the whole doesnt make up parts and the parts dont make up the whole


Thought you were going....no? 

You do realise that, based on your first post, this IS hypocrisy. Ironic that you're spouting misuse of it while displaying it at the very same time...

Yes, I am going but I think you need to re-read my original post if you think it's hypocrisy. Or at least gain some sort of comprehension before you speak. By me addressing the OP does not mean I think eery single X1 fan thinks there is a second gpu... don't even know why I'm bothering with this nonsense

See, the difference is the x1 fans are stretching, reaching, assuming and speculating. The opposing side is just making them aware that wishful thinking doesnt make it true. If it does turn out to be true it wont mean anything to the opposing side. But if it turns out to be false then the ones who spread the nonsense would be the ones looking silly.

noun (plural hypocrisies)

[mass noun]

I would have to say that hypocrisies does apply to the bolded quote if you are going to go by the definition given.  I do believe people wanted to debate how plausible the rumor is not that it was something people were wishing, hoping or stretching the truth.  Instead comments like the one bolded actually turn good debate into fanboy nonsense as one side seeks some type of elevation.

No one claimed it true besides maybe one or 2 people.  No one needed the other fanboy side to make anyone aware of anything.  Instead if the other side wanted to debate on why the rumor is false and give examples than it would mean they are on topic instead of comments like the one bolded.  In other words, everything went to pot once one side felt the need to throw fanboy ammo in a post to stur the pot.
