This is the message the OP passes on the text mentioned previously and that was considered by many people on this thread a blatant lie (because of details that don't affect the logic described) but so far it was proven not to be a lie at all. What is your position and why?

I wouldn't describe it as a lie per se, but I would say it's a case of confirmation bias. The facts are largely true (with perhaps a few details omitted as you mention, and some elements being outside my knowledge to be able to confirm/deny entirely) and there's an internal consistency in your arguments, but you seem to be starting from a particular premise and then selecting data to prove it instead of taking into account other hypothesis. I just don't see enough evidence to validate your arguments, while I see more plausible hypothesis and other data being dismissed.

But of course, you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm not trying to change that. The issue here is how you presented said views as facts, when there's other valid interpretations and data to consider. Without leaving much room for disagreement, the general tone of the OP feels antagonistic as someone else mentioned before me, despite the praise you gave.

Ok, I think I'm done now... >.<  If you have a question for me I'll answer it, but otherwise, I won't post again.

PS: I made a mistake before when I mentioned the "Minna no Susume" label. That budget label was for 3rd party games on Wii in Japan, not 1st party.


I'm going to respond to you on this point given this was him talking about what I said.  

The reason I call them blatant lies is because contrary information exists out there that actually oppose what he states.  As an example, pretty much every absolute statement he makes are lies as there's evidence that falsifies the statement.  Those statements are the ones made after he presents information and follows up with a conclusion.  

I agree that he has put facts into his argument, and they are certainly selected via an inductive reasoning.  However, given I have a good bit of knowledge about the topic myself (infact having made a response thread [incomplete] about it), the ratio of facts to opinions (or false information) is astoundingly bad.  

edit: I use the word lie because I choose to believe he's aware of the evidence and uses the absolute statement regardless of this to try and make his point stronger (an opinion which he states as fact).
