That's only because you are choosing to ignore the available data.
The only "data" you provide is an article that is so polemic it borders on the ridiculous ("Lies, Damn Lies, and Book People Statistics" is the headline; how's that for unbiased reporting).

I love how some people think they somehow magically have the authority to just state something as a fact and that statement in itself is enough to end the discussion.

But what would I expect from someone who chose "the Great" as appropriate to describe himself?

[Is that too much? Am I at risk for being too uh, "direct" to an admin here?]

So, yes, I'll welcome a discussion about the substance but this "You're wrong because I say so, and I won't bother really engaging with the likes of you" innuendo doesn't give me a lot to work with.
