No one has ever seen "big chunk" and thought 10%



'No one'... according to yourself?

This appears to be a random pseudonym account so it's unproductive to phrase it in this way, because it requires a lot more credibility to back it up.

A simple counterexample: I clearly think 10% is fine, and I've met at least a few dozen people who share a similar view. Which suggests it's a common enough sentiment among HN readers.

If the link has something to add to your argument, can you quote the specific section?

It appears to reinforce my point, in that it never defines 'large chunk' to have any specific range of values. Certainly not anywhere near a majority.

Some of the human individuals I've met and talked with throughout life.


All of the human individuals I've met and talked with throughout life think both "BIG CHUNK" and "LARGE CHUNK" mean more than 10%.

This seems like ignoring the question, so the opinion is noted, but it doesn't sound convincing.

I still stand by my belief.


I still stand by my belief even harder.
