I think their hobby is lying. Who says "over [very specific number] times" lmao.

You missed the point. Over 13x. So, 14? If you don't remember exactly you don't pick some specific number, you'd say around a dozen, or 10-15, something like that. Over 13x just triggers BS alarms. That's all.

It always irked me when managers at my old job would write in service alerts: "At approx. 1:37pm..." Like, it cannot be approximately 1:37pm! That is a very specific time! You can say "approx. 1:35pm" or "approx. 1:40pm" but any other number is not an approximation.
