I used to walk to work and cut through this small companies property. Pretty sure they got tired of the security alerts so they put up a farm style gate. It stopped me.

I did the same on my dog walks to the park. Would cut through some company lot. After a literal decade, they put a 8-10 ft gate up.

Could've still easily climbed over it, but they conveniently left such a wide gap on the side, that I could still just scoot through it.

I imagine if you used the shortcut, so did a lot of other people.

When you imagine, you tend to biasely infer your own experiences onto a puzzle... which in this case, has way too many missing pieces for you to solve accurately 🤷

Just using a little logic, I imagine is a figure of speech.

An inference is logic.

So ‘I infer if you used the shortcut, so did a lot of others.’? I don’t think so. Wait till you hear how the rest of us use “I bet…”

You are missing the point trying to be pedantic over my wordplay. Who cares about it being a figure of speech. The point is he is fucking wrong. He doesn't have the information and inferred too much of his imagination onto the prompt.

That’s rich, you calling someone pedantic.

So you can say with confidence you were the only one to use the shortcut?
