Or as an assumption based on opinion? Elementary logic: 1) Though I've been involved in the computer business for nearly 30 years, I haven't observed anyone who might have bought an operating system who'd also have rejected one because of a devilish mascot. This doesn't prove that such people don't exist; it does put a stringent upper bound on their numbers. 2) The burden of proof is always on the person who asserts "there exists". So, until someone does "marketing research" and shows that my observation is inaccurate, I can, and should, take it as fact.
