If you lay it out like that, does it make what you say more true?
> the claim people here were making about "what people are saying" is false.
You were the one using that phrase.
> I did not present the Google answer as "the truth".
Oh baloney.

No.
It was just as true before as it is after.
> You were the one using that phrase.
I was using that phrase to describe what people were doing. Do you understand the difference between doing something and describing that thing that people are doing?
>> I did not present the Google answer as "the truth". I presented it only as what it is: "what Google said".
> Oh baloney.
That is literally what I wrote: "Because I sure couldn't find any. So I asked Google. This is what Google said:"
Again, if you can't tell the difference between "this is what Google said" and "this is the truth" then that is most definitely a you-problem. On three levels:
- first, they are literally and undisputably different words.
- second, believing that those two different sets of words mean the same thing is..."interesting".
- third, even if you yourself believe that these words mean the same thing (which, again, "interesting"), assuming that others partake in that interpretation is at best presumptuous.
