I can't personally verify that, but it is one of the... Well, here's the thing. A lot of times, I think it's important to recognize our own limitations and knowing what our usage actually is. This happens to me a lot. Someone will say to me, I never do XYZ. Like on Twitter, what's interesting about Twitter, someone will say, I never use XYZ in this way.
