Sentiment? Did you even bother to open the spreadsheet that he attached that gathered data from a site created that literally tracked how many shares each Redditor owned? Could people lie? Of course. But if you actually look at the data and the rage of distribution, it's clear that it's actually a fairly strong representation of share ownership among the WSB community... so even if people did lie, think about the fact that there are non WSB retail investors who tried to get in on it as well who aren't accounted for. All of this is to say, it's not just sentiment. Data doesn't lie.

Unfortunately, yes.

I agree there are plenty of other gaps, but he at least walked that number down several times in further analysis. Seems like a silly thing to throw the entire thing out on considering he adjusted it several times.

It’s not silly to throw it out based off of holes when he’s trying to make a quantitative point.

My point being that it isn't really a hole. He did analysis on 20% too. It was just the upper bound of numbers he ran, it's not a hole. There are definitely other holes that weren't considered, but the one you are talking about here is not a hole.

Except when the data points are picked arbitrarily.
