You make a fair point, I said that just from an empirical standpoint.

Usually when people use the word "empirically" it means they have some actual empirical evidence to bring to the table, not just random anecdotes.

If 40% of any segment of Facebook customers had substantially reduced their usage in the past year, that would indeed be unprecedented. I don't see a shred of evidence to support that supposition though.

But that's what empirical means...

It is what I saw in the past year, but you are right, I can't provide a completely verifiable and correct statistic to support my argument. Neither is it going to exist, because I don't think Facebook will ever state 'yes, we are going out of business'.

Must be hard to live your life based only on actual evidence all the time man. I can't imagine how much time do you invest verifying everything. Kudos for that.
