Hmm. I detect some hyperbole in your statement.

That is fair, it is a hyperbolic statement.

Sounds like you might need to dial back your hyperbole a touch. Seems a tad much on the exaggeration side of things.

That is quite an overstatement.

A bit of an exaggeration don't you think?

I think you're exaggerating (hyperbolically, of course).

This seems like quite a hyperbolic statement.

Perhaps a bit too much hyperbole here...

avs733 Mar 16, 2018 View on HN

One could argue that this is hyperbole.

You're right, a little hyperbolic perhaps...
