[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8886011, member: 683408"] When you don't experience what the average person does, you are an outlier. Your outlier experience doesn't invalidate the average, especially when the dataset use to make that average is as large as it is. Some people pay less than the average price for gas. Some pay more. But the average represents what we ALL pay. No, I am just quoting the actual words he said and the promises he made, and contrasting them with the new words he has said about the exact same subject. Promise the world in order to get what you want, then break the promises before you even would have a chance to fulfill them. You said you would do it, and did it. Why TF would you ask if you "walked back" your statement? YoU DID WHAT YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO. If you said "I will learn how to do it" and then every time someone offered, you said "I'd LIKE to" and then declined the offer, THAT would be walking it back. If you promised you'd get 1,000 HP out of the engine he was building but when he asked you to do it you said "I'd LIKE to, but it's hard" because you weren't really sure you COULD, that's walking back on a promise. Don't make a promise that you are unsure you can deliver on. Because anything other than delivering is "walking it back" [/QUOTE]
