Default overused 2+2 cliches

This seems to be the 2+2 forum forum so I'll post this here.

The following is a list, with usage, of cliches that I feel are used way too often on these forums. Feel free to add your own or bitch about mine. I'm sure people will try to be clever and use these in a response but I assure you that these responses will be even more lame than this post.

1. The sample size is too small

ex. 'I have 250,000,000 hands imported into poker tracker and it shows that I am a winning player at .5/.10, should I move up if I've got the roll?' 'your sample size is way to small, you could just be on a lucky run for a couple hundred million hands, wait until you are a winning player after a billion or so then try moving up'

People say this all the time but you rarely if ever see an actual discussion of the statistics involved to come to the conclusion that you never have enough hands to determine anything.

2. Do you see why?

ex. 'what is your favorite movie rating?' 'XXX, do you see why?'

yeah we get it you read poker books. Clever.

Similarly:
3. and it's not close

ex. 'what is your favorite movie rating?' 'XXX and it's not close.'

yeah we get it you read poker books. Clever.

Anything I missed?
