"Most people know what he means."

Actually...Swap "Most" with "Least"...3 million people more than "Least" and that is a stone cold fact. 

You say "most people" more than anyone I know. As if "Most people" somehow lifts your false facts into credibility. Imply and inferences build on the foundation that "Most people" think...When it's not "most people" at all. It's 3 million less people, minimum.
"Most people" agree with me actually.
