Hyperbole and hypotheticals aren't "outright lies"
Exact and false numbers given as proportions aren't hyperbole, they're misrepresentations, ie lies.
"Say you're in a room"
It's literally at the start of the post. Anyone who has eyes and can read now understands this is hypothetical
It's a hypothetical. Not misinformation. It's a hypothetical argument meant to make a philosophical point, not to be a case study on sociological statistics
You fucking dipshits getting hung up on the wrong thing means you don't have enough brain cells to process the argument at hand.
