    implied doesnt mean required. you can think what you want but nothing in that statement means one of them will be a worm farmer. and no I didnt miss any details. you just think an implication means fact. which it doesnt. i suspect you’re often mislead by people exploiting this bias you have.

    in order for you to be correct they would have had to state the selection mechanism for the group being considered. since they didnt, its ambiguous and you cannot infer anything from the statement.

      It’s okay to admit you were wrong.

      You assumed wrong, when they provided all the information you needed.

      It could be what you’re saying, but you would need to intentionally ignore the context of “which one”.

      It’s funny you speak of bias, when you’re the one being biased and assuming based of everything being “randomly selected”. I read what the person said and parsed it, you didn’t.

      It’s like having a police lineup where one person is a crook, it’s not some survey lmfao.

        again you’re making assumptions about what information is actually in the text. im moving on I dont really give a shit that your reading comprehension is lacking. =)

          No, I’m reading the words that they said and parsed them, without any previous knowledge, why would the assumption be random? That’s adding details that aren’t even there lol.

          You realize that resulting to insults you mind as well just wave a flag saying you’re wrong.

            yes, its your lack of comprehension about what you parsed that is the problem… the fact you can’t see that the information you’re asserting isnt actually in the text is literally my point. aka: your reading comprehension problem.

            you’re the one insisting that the alternative parsing is incorrect while simultaneously admitting that the information you’re claiming as part of the text was ‘inferred’.

            hint: inferences are not the same as facts. both random selection from the population and selecting 1 worm farmer and 9 randoms are valid inferences of the sentence.

            I never claimed you had an incorrect understanding of the sentence. only that it isnt the only possible meaning of the sentence.

            now move on.
