Let me rephrase, "86.67% would have moaned either way".”
Why wouldn't it be more like 50%? Or 25% if it was one way, 75% if the other?
But it wasn't actually even an 'either way'. You listed 5 possibilities and than said "And on and on".
So what it comes down to is some people would have moaned no matter who was saved -- something that, if it's even true, deserves a big "so what?".
