Why did you move the goalposts from "school" to "primary school"?

the person who moved those goalposts was the same person who moved all the other goalposts (i.e., not the person you replied to)

It's not moving the goalposts. I linked to that page because Wikipedia breaks the data out in to three separate pages, and I didn't want to confuse the issue. At a glance, the data for secondary and post-secondary schools don't appear to be different in any meaningful way (though I did not take the time to count).

Besides, even one example would be enough to refute the OP's claim that "it doesn't happen anywhere else".

The salient point is that this is NOT the only country where this happens. Not even close.

I’m sorry, but I do not believe you at all

I'm sorry, I don't care whether you "believe me" or not.

You: This is the only country where this happens.

Me: False. Here is some data that shows it happens in many other countries.

What is there to "believe" here? All that was necessary to refute you was to find ONE incident in another country. I found dozens. Linking to the other two lists (each of which also have many incidents in other countries) can only further destroy your incorrect assertion. There's no way those can magically make you right. Even if the other two both had zero (which they don't...far from it), that wouldn't matter in the slightest.

Take the L and move on.

The Onion, not me: "this is the only country where this regularly happens"

You: move every goalpost

All that was necessary to refute you was to find ONE incident in another country.

Is one isolated incident really all that is necessary to refute the Onion's assertion that this is the only country where this regularly happens?
