Nowhere does my comment state that no one is faking. You've simply left reality in favor of a fantasy.

This is what I said:

> collectively, we don't know enough about CFS or the human brain to make definitive statements like 'a large number are faking it.'

This is what it means:

We don't know enough to quantify the ratio of fakers.

'A large number are faking it' is a type of quantification: a ratio. In this case, a descriptive ratio that uses the words "large number" instead of literal numbers.
