Where does this stat come from?

Right you are. I misunderstood the point you were making. Apologies.

I asked for a citation on a stat to understand an argument being made. You know, like a reasonable person engaged in a discussion would. I wasn't implying that 50% of rape accusations are false. I was pointing out that if Cappadocious was using the same stats for this statement as (s)he was making on another thread,…

And to think, only two generations ago we put human beings on the moon.

Let me fix that for you: "So it turns out the Adam Sandler was never funny. "
