Sort of. I'm betting his average skews higher than people think. People dislike it, but there is often context behind his KO's. Most often, folks disregard all the other damage he took beforehand. Just look at the recent "KO Wolverine" thread in the X-Men forum.
The reason the pressure point thing is iffy to me, is just for the fact that he's fighting back. He's got the same options in the fight they do, but he's got the healing factor/adamantium on top of all that. (Unless you meant this thread specifically)
Someone should make a thread where people post all the times he's been KO'd by one person under their own power, and see if they outnumber the times he's taken similar damage. If we could avoid a troll fest, I think people would be surprised of how comparatively rare it is. srank issued a challenge a while back, where he offered to post 3 equivalent healing feats for everyone 1 legitimate KO he had. No one took him up on it.
