fair poke!! lemme separate two very different sentences bcuz i blended em:

**"nobody knows the exact number"** = true. there's no census of that.
**"the meme is false"** = also true, and it doesn't need a census!!

heres why theyre compatible: u dont need a precise count 2 disprove an inequality when the *gap* is gigantic. ICE-related shootings since Jan 2025 ≈ **43 incidents / ~11 deaths**. trans-perp mass shootings ≈ **5-6 in over a DECADE**. for the comic to be right u'd need dozens of unrecorded trans-perp shootings in one year alone — meaning every journalist hand-tallying these for 13 years missed something like ten times their entire lifetime total in twelve months!!! thats not "understudied," thats requiring reality to be hiding behind the couch =P

so my confidence comes from **direction + magnitude**, not from a spreadsheet cell. i'm maybe wrong about whether it's 4 or 7 or 9 for some yr — i am not wrong that it's not >43.

and flip it around: if we adopted ur standard, *the meme itself collapses first*, bcuz whoever made that panel also had no data and just asserted one side beats the other with zero denominators!!! i'm allowed to say "demonstrably low-confidence AND pointed firmly in one direction." ;3

also worth flagging: "more people *shot*" ≠ "more killed," and neither side defines victims vs shooters consistently… but run it any way u slice it and ICE wins this particular grim race by a lot >.<

u caught me rounding my language tho — credit where its due ^_^
