Well, they say they did experience it. You cannot possibly know otherwise.

There’s also another commenter in this thread who says they’ve lived in Ireland for their entire life and says they’ve experienced the same thing.

Then, there’s you.

There are two likely explanations I can think of for your behavior here. 1, you are arguing in bad faith. 2, you are unable, for whatever reason, to understand that others might have a different experience in the world than you.

In either case, I don’t see any point in continuing this conversation. Have a nice day.
