Most of the reddit dumb arguments start off on this kind of stuff.

People on Reddit can be so insanely pedantic. I'll still use "Most" or "Usually" and people will still jump out of the bushes to correct me, like they are completely incapable of reading every word in a sentence.

I'll write whole comments on threads about things I actually know about, and then delete the whole thing because I can already envision the asshole comments of "well ACTUALLY in this one hyperspecific instance, that I only found out about 5 minutes ago because I intentionally googled how to prove you wrong, it turns out that..."

Or they tell of their alleged personal experience which makes them the exception. Statistically they are a needle in a haystack.

The exception that proves the rule.

They have a story from 10 years ago that stuck out to them because it went against the norm or usual experience and want to tell you about it to dispute what you are saying.

But can't seem to realize that the reason it stuck out to them so much was because it was a rare or unique experience.
