Sprinklers yo!

No sprinklers, you live on a farm.

Of course you can make that inference. Have you ever bought anything from a telemarketer? I haven't. I don't know anyone who says they have. I know far more people who are bothered by the call. So does that mean that no one buys things over the phone? Or is it safe to infer that they wouldn't do it if it didn't work?

Not the same thing, sorry.

It is the most obvious fact ever. In order for it not to be true, you would need to assume that billions of people, with the ability to see, ignored a glowing ball of gas a million times the size of the earth that enters their field of vision dozens of times per day.

Thanks for taking the bait. Now, how many of those 'viewers' were at work and thus couldn't see it? How many were on the other side of the Earth where it was nighttime. You can't infer every person on the planet was a potential viewer, or even every person in your own country.

The measured stats are off by a mere 500K viewers out of a total of some 17-ish million. You can either infer that at least 500,000 people watched it on unmeasured media, or less than 500,000 people watched it on unmeasured media. Making the latter inference there means you ignore the last decade of technological advancement and known trends regarding the amount of eyeballs that use the internet.

Sure, but it's irrelevant anyways. Spicer told a bunch of other lies in that ranting press conference where he took no questions. Those are enough to give him the title of alternative fact king.
