You will also be accused of not being able to do basic math.
When someone says that 1% out of 25 bitcoins is 40%, what would you call it? A math professor?
Luckily everyone can see through a lie like that. It's worse with the things that are believable to newbies and confuse the hell out of them. It's a good thing I don't run Bitcointalk. I would wear out the ban hammer.
I have never made such a remark, but have been accused of not able to comprehend basic math due to the fact that I mine at BAN and the pool can not keep paying the 10% bonus forever. (Even though nobody can show where the pool ever said they will pay the bonus forever). All I do know is the pool does pay me every 2 hours and the pool did send me a winning S3 miner from the drawing.
