    FACTS

    To provide more evidence that the iKooks are very strange people,
    exactly like the similarly strange Dunning-Kruger lemon-juice bank robber was...

    Notice this strange behavior of the iKooks to not only be completely
    ignorant of all the facts, but to make extremely strong statements
    which aren't based on facts - and then - to make it worse - they _continue_
    to brazenly deny the facts - and when that no longer works - they come
    up with their own fantastical strawmen so that they can rationalize
    why they're always wrong.

    Who does that?
    Only very strange people, right?

    Normal people don't do that.
    Only fools deny facts (that's _why_ they're fools after all).

    Since I study these strange people, and since I try to understand
    them using the facts, here are facts which show that are what I
    say they are - as I show verbatim their own words as evidence.

    I'm posting this iKook behavior because Arno recently tried to chastise

    1. First Alan Browne brazenly denies obvious facts only a fool would deny.

    3. And, when caught (like Trump) by Carlos on creating his own fake news...

    Alan Brown then tells us...

    How stupid does someone need to be to be _that_ stupid that they can't even form a single sentence that expressed what he clearly "thought" it did?

    "Couldn't care less" and "could care less" are both used to mean someone doesn't care at all, but English teachers and grammarians will say that only "couldn't care less" is correct, so that is what you should use in formal or academic writing.

    Heh heh heh... this is perfect (which is why I love you, Jolly Roger).

    1. Alan Brown (and the iKooks) own the education of a high school dropout.
    2. When informed of the truth, iKooks then desperately fabricate inane
    excuses for their complete and total ignorance of the relevant facts.
    3. Lastly, since they can't compete on facts, they then try to insult
    their way out of the fact that their belief systems are imaginary.

    *Notice that's _exactly_ what they do with all facts about Apple products*

    The main reason iKooks hate me is I bring facts about Apple to the fore.
    Where facts are the bane of people who hold imaginary belief systems.

    That's why iKooks are afraid of any message about Apple containing facts.
    --
    By assessing their statements, the iKooks can't possibly be educated, nor, based on their inane excuses, can any of them approach normal intelligence.
