I’m still waiting for you to dispute anything I’ve said.

No dispute needed. The facts speak for themselves. 1-2 counterfeit bills last year, already 10 this year. That's an increases. It's not anecdotal; it's factual, hard evidence. Go troll somewhere else. This conversation is over.

You obviously don’t have any understanding of what the word “anecdotal” means.

Which leaves us with you continuing to try to maintain that an increase from 1 or 2 to 10 counterfeit bills per year actually means something in a system with at least one million counterfeit bills outstanding in the universe of about 10 billion pieces of paper circulating in the U.S.

Which brings us back to where we started: You can’t possibly be serious.

Let me help you out with how anecdotes work.

Let’s say that last year my cat, one of thousands of cats in the country allowed outside caught 2 mice. This year, my cat has caught 10 mice so far.

That’s hard, cold evidence of the number of mice within range of my cat or perhaps of my cat’s hunting efficiency, but to conclude anything about the national population of mice would be a mistake.

Get it?
