Pardon? The parent's comment is correct.

Edit: my comment is still correct thanks to parent's 2nd edit.



Parent makes this very clear statement:

> The statement will have no effect when the number of blue-eyed people is 3 or more

This is wrong, and is known to be wrong. Again, if you cannot understand a problem yourself, you might at least look into it before assuming you can.

If you're playing the retroactive-history game, let me point out that that edit had not been made when you made your comment. If party A issues a statement, I point out that it's nonsense, you say that you agree with party A, and then A recants, that doesn't make you right by virtue of the wording you used to agree with him. It makes you foolish.
