Are you under the impression that Marvel has some sort of braintrust that spends its days pouring over comics and analyzing fight scenes to form a definitive interpretation of the events therein?
Bios are the product of some intern being tasked with leafing through thousands of comics and quickly summarizing them. I could literally not care less what is said in a bio. Half of the times they don't even get the simple facts right, much less form a deeper analysis that's worth a damn.
Originally posted by KK the GreatSp the fact it ended in a standoff in the comic and the fact the bio agrees with my interpretation means nothing? I don't care if a squirrel wrote the bio with a nut marvel backed it up. You can speculate all day who wrote the bio but marvel released it so you can chirp all day which doesn't change the fact I am right and you are wrong.

Once again I'm going to have to stop you right there.
I don't know who taught you that you could apply any old word you like to any situation with no regard for whether you're using the word correctly, but that person needs to be chemically castrated.

you could "not care less" or you could you care less? For somebody who comes on this forum touting his supposed great grasp of the English language and logic, while criticizing others use of it.... is rather amusing since you've failed on both accounts today. Congrats.
Originally posted by KK the GreatAgain, marvel used the same word which literally described how the scene ended. You claimed an intern wrote it which basically shows us how desperate you are.

There you have it folks.From the desk of Quanchi:
"If marvel said it, common sense be damned!".
Originally posted by quanchi112Nice effort to do a complete topic change, but I was actually commenting on your assessment of the bio, rather than the fight itself.
So how did it end then?
The fact that you refuse to take into account common sense when assessing the validity of evidence that favors you is evidence of bias.

Why? Because I correctly used a phrase that most people, yourself included, use incorrectly?
When I say that I could not care less about it, I mean exactly that. I care so little about it, I would be incapable of caring any less than I currently do. I care as little about it as humanly possible.

lol lol. Let me understand this...It's incorrect to say... I could care less what you think about ____ . Is that what you're saying? lol

It's common sense, really.

The probability that the issue in question faced a greater level of scrutiny during the writing of some online bio than it has in this thread is less than zero. There's no chance whatsoever that anyone put this much effort into analyzing the scene while compiling a bunch of freaking bios. It is beyond asinine to believe otherwise.
So yes, I put MUCH more stock in my ability to come to a valid interpretation by myself than I do in some worthless bio.
So how did it end then?
Not unlike countless fights that came before it and countless more that followed.
Once again, a fight not coming to a definitive conclusion does not automatically make it a standoff.

That is exactly what I'm saying.
Consider the following:
I am capable of caring about any given topic on a scale of 0% to 100%. 0% means I don't care at all, and 100% is absolute devotion.
Let's say you buy a new pair of shoes. You're in love with them and want to show them off to everybody. We run into each other at the porn dungeon, and you immediately launch into a story about your shoes. I can make one of two declarations.
1) I could care less about your shoes.
2) I could not care less about your shoes.
Assume that I care 0% about your shoes. I don't care about them at all, in other words.
QUESTION: Can I care less than 0% about them?
a) Yes, I can care less than 0%.
b) No, I can't care less than 0%.
c) What are you, an idiot? Of course I can't care less than 0%. Didn't you see where I said the scale goes from 0 to 100?
ANSWER: Both b and c are correct, although c is the preferred answer.
Having established that I can not care less than 0%, and I care exactly 0% about your shoes, then it stands to reason that I could not care less about your shoes.
For the record, if I cared, say, 10% about your shoes, then it would be correct to state that I could care less about them. You see, it is possible for me to care less than 10% about them.
With this logic in mind, you can see two things:
1) "I could not care less" inherently means that I care 0%. If I care even 1%, then I could care less and the statement is false.
2) "I could care less" could mean that I care anywhere from 1% to 100%. Such a distinction is practically meaningless.
For completion's sake, "I could not care more" would mean that I care 100%, whereas "I could care more" indicates anything from 0% to 99%.
If you're still not grasping this astonishingly simple concept, I could probably make a flow chart or something.
Damn look at the size of that post. I apreciate the energy to debate even the smallest of matters to the ground
But 'I could care less' is used in common american english and is understood by everyone familiar with it, it's just common sense and common knowledge. So its not wrong even if logically flawed, because semantics arent math and meaning can be extracted from the phrase just the same. 'we don't need no education' is a double negative that would make it logically contradict what the phrase really means, but nobody missunderstands it either.
