I like how I'm downvoted for a joke response to a worthless uncited statistic. If its because you think its not funny fine. I sincerely hope no readers of HN are dumb enough to actually be "mislead" by it.

There's a lot of herd phenomena on HN. Humans are social animals, and animals are dumb by nature.
