Because it is a broad brush representation of their points and because you present it with the tact of Donald Trump's pet monkey.

Uhm, numbers don't lie, right?

And saying I'm using a broad brush to talk about broad brushes is pretty broad brushy.

But it just makes it sound like you don't have any more nuanced or deep of an opinion, so you just keep saying the same thing over and over again so you'll feel like you're contributing.

I've provided tons of nuanced opinion. I have 51 posts in this thread and only 3 of them have pointed to the numbers. Now I feel like a broad brushed Muslim too.
