Never underestimate stupidity in numbers

Co-worker 1: (Pylon encasing his arm, arm pointed at a 45 degree angle) Hey I'm like Megaman
Me: You're thinking of Samus Aran. Megaman can't shoot at a diagonal


Co-worker 2: Of course he can. What are you talking about.
Co-worker 1: Yeah man what are you talking about?


Me: I'm 99% sure that he can't shoot diagonally.
Co-worker 1/2: You are so wrong.
Me: Sigh.


Who gives a rats ass whether Megaman can shoot diagonally (FYI, he can't). More value is somehow placed on being confident (but wrong) than being uncertain (but right).
