On your first line, it was you that quoted JB as saying he was 160 when he showed up and 180 when he left, and you that keeps saying that every word that comes out of JB's mouth must be true.  Warrick was 215 when he left Syracuse.  At a minimum, the second part of JB's sentence is wrong.  If the first part of his sentence is true (that Warrick was 160 when he showed up), then he added 55 points in his four years, which greatly undermines the substantive point you and Boeheim were making (that neither HW nor MD needed to bulk up).

On your second line, IT'S MUCH WORSE!  JB KNOWS MUCH MORE ABOUT BASKETBALL THAN ME OR ANYONE ON THIS FORUM!  That doesn't mean that he's always right, and it certainly doesn't mean that we should imbue his statements - which, again, are often hyperbolic and casual and often made for reasons other than truth - with such talismanic important that even obviously incorrect statements should be treated as facts.
