That is exceedingly dumb. That's like saying gasoline is widely used
because people don't know you can buy a diesel automobile.

That actually is true as well. Most people don't.


I've never met a single adult in this country who believed there are
no diesel automobiles. I believe you're pulling this claim from a
sunshine-free zone.

There are very few diesel cars out there. Tons of trucks, but
the last time you saw a diesel midsize family sedan was?


Don't "debating-trade" your way out of this one. You said "people
don't know you can buy a diesel automobile." Prove it. You didn't say
people don't buy diesels. Two entirely different propositions.

I asked my sister - and she said "There are diesel cars still made?"

Oh, when your sister speaks, she's speaking for "most people"?
With an oracle of such wisdom in the family, your clan should be
famous.

Then she thought and realized that Mercedes probably makes them.
Funny thing is, Mercedes doesn't anymore. Lol.

Now you're laughing at your sister?

She's a pretty typical person, IMO.

Oh, so that's how you determine what "most people" know -- you ask
one single, solitary individual who, in your judgment and using
unknown criteria, is "pretty typical".

You're hip-deep in "debating trade" garbage. Better start bailing.
