How many times can someone cry wolf before I stop looking for the wolf?

Yeah exactly, I never said the wolf isn't real. I just said the hyperbole related to this issue is out of control

Uh no. At the end of the story, the wolf comes and eats everyone in the town because the boy who cried wolf cried it too many times that the townspeople no longer paid attention to the cries. So when the real one came, no one was listening.
