You aren't actually making a point.

Are you saying that ""Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast" has scientific value?

Are you saying that because of someone's tittle they are incapable of saying something hyperbolic?

Do you disagree with my word use? What is a better word?

I was actually making the point that the FEMA Director for the Pacific Northwest probably knows a lot more about the scenario in question, and that his statement may be grounded very deeply in fact such that it's not hyperbolic at all.

Neither are you
