How is this tweet disputed? It’s a fact

CNN rates Trump’s tweet as false. The percentage wasn’t 68, it was 68.05.

Anything can be disputed. You say your name is John? I don’t know if that’s true. Now your claim is disputed by me, even if I am just being a retard. It’s just that simple.

Twitter uses the word "disputed" instead of "debunked" because disputed is meaningless, and can’t be used in a libel case. Yet, to the masses, they see it as synonymous with "debunked."

^This.

I can "dispute" your existence and credibility, asserting that you might be a bot or a figment of my imagination, doesn't mean I've conclusively disproved you wrote the post above and proven you to have never existed.

** Legalvotesonly1 claim about this tweet being a fact is disputed **

Whilst it is in fact a fact by the very definition of what has been considered a fact for thousands of years, it is not considered a fact by the many reputable "fact check" services that exist and have sprung up over the last four years; impartial fact checkers that have no interest or personal stakes in what is being disputed.

Everything trump says is disputed.

It’s the twilight zone. You’re only allowed to change his words to make him look bad.

They put these labels on posts that have nothing to do with the election at all.

It's almost as if they are correcting facts just for the sake of it ;) I bet that job has red pilled a few of those bastards, LOL

Why does everyone suddenly believe that 1/250,000 equals 0.0008% just because everyone else is saying it? It doesn't. Grab a calculator or pen and check for yourself.

Yeah, its confusing wording 1 error in 250,000 is allowed. 2 errors in 250,000 is NOT allowed. 2 in 250,000 is the .0008% that keeps being thrown around.

So when the error rate hits .0008% is it beyond the allowable error rate.

no, when it hits 1 in 249.999 it's beyond allowable error rate

1 in 250,000 is within the acceptable error rate. That is .004%. 1 divided by 250000 = .000004 X 100 = .0004%

2 in 250,000 is .008%, which, as I'm rereading this thing, might be the upward limit of acceptable. So 2 in 250k is ok, but any more than that is unacceptable.

In either case. A very small number.

when you have 1 in 249.999 you're already over the limit.

Slothboy 2 points ago +2 / -0

You know, I can't even find the actual guideline they are referencing. So either they are wrong in the tweet about the 1 in 250k, or they are wrong about the percent of .0008%.

Whatever. It's a very small number in either case.

lmao 2 points ago +2 / -0

yeah one of those is wrong.

1 vote too many isn't 2/250k, yes that's also too many, but far too many.

1 vote too many is 1/249.999, that's exactly 1 vote too many, which is 1 vote over 0.0004% which is 0.0004000016000064%

So it's simply 0.0004% max allowed, no need to make it 0.0008%, that number is just wrong, unless the 250k is wrong like you said.

Correct, it is actually 0.0004% ((1/250,000)*100)

Bruh they literally said it's disputed then verified Trump's claim... like unless my reading comprehension is borderline illiterate Twitter literally confirmed Trump is right

Maybe it’s like grocery stores where the baggers get paid per bag so they put each beer in a separate bag.
