That remark wasn't meant very seriously, sorry. When I say "from where I'm sitting" I mean to communicate the sense anyone who really likes X has, that if you don't really like X like they do then you're just missing out. It isn't true at all of course.

The hypothesis doesn't fit the data I have, in case you're curious.

OK; sorry for misreading your tone. (And thanks for the extra data point about that hypothesis.)
