Oh FFS, I was honestly trying to drop this out of the thread and talk to wook via pm.
But fine.
What I actually said in full was this:
There are two basic underlying assumptions which, by definition, does not allow Wook's interpretation of that comment that Chinese people lack the capacity to appreciate Citizen Kane. The first is that I qualified as the "average" millennial vs the "average" Chinese moviegoer. An average, by definition, is a sampling of a larger group and are meant to represent variance in whatever you are averaging. The second underlying assumption is "I'm not convinced of a landslide," which wook cut out. A landslide victory, as political jargon, indicates an overwhelming victory. While the implication is that a majority would probably find Transformers a more entertaining film, by definition you have a segment that preferred Kane. And being that my wording was "not a landslide," that implies something along the lines of 60/40 or 55/45. So if the direct implication of my sentence is that 40% like Citizen Kane, it literally cannot be true that what I wrote somehow also implies that Chinese people at large aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate Citizen Kane.
There is nothing in my statement which suggests that Chinese people are not sophisticated enough to appreciate Citizen Kane, period.
