These numbers can be verified by any 6-year-old with a cellphone. If you disagree with the numbers, find a 6-year-old to help you. Math is not an opinion. I didn’t state opinions. I only stated facts. There is no gray area. There are no judgment calls. It is black and white. Clear as day.

Math truly is not an opinion.
