Actually, I didn't say anything "factually incorrect". If you say it once when I actually did make an exaggeration, than I'll say nothing, but if you keep going, particularly with "facts" when you knew that I was joking, than let me tell you.
First of all you you probably already know this but let's make sure. You must not confuse a fact with the most probable interpretation. Truth is different from fact. A fact change its meaning depending on the context. If I tell you the fact that "A" killed "B", You can't say that "A" is guilty. That's the more likely probability, but it may have been self-defense. "A"'s family may have been threatened. Or they were in a war field, they were both soldiers and it was A's duty to do that (legally speaking). I used an highly improbable interpretation, but everything was "factually correct" (or at least it wasn't disproved as a possiblity by your comments).
Being creepy is subjective and to say a fact she did seem creepy to me before they told why she did that. And even after they explained why, she still dozed of while being enchanted by his nice smell. And about the end, They didn't tell why she asked. It's probably because she is suspicious of him or because she want to find out how he managed to smell good, but -as unlikely as it may be- it may also have been because she is a nympho (nothing against them at all) turned on by his smell. AFAIK they didn't tell anything that can disprove this low possibility. So I'm technically not "factually incorrect". I'm incorrect only if you assume the most likely interpretation, which is a different thing.
And about the other thing, they did say that she has an "unique physiology" and that thus we can safely assume that she is the only one to smell that, but they also said "hunter Cha is able to smell a certain scent from hunters and it's apparently quite foul" In this one the most probable interpretation is that there is only one smell that all the hunters share. See the singular "it's" and the fact that there is only one reason, being a hunter. You are a hunter, you have the smell. It may not be the case, but it's possible. This would mean that she has the exact same smell as all other hunters and that she can still smell herself, she just doesn't usually notice. Like someone who lives in a place with constant background noise, after a while they don't notice it anymore, but they can bring that noise to attention if they concentrate. It may be the same thing.
And by the way, I could also argue that is not the presence of an observer to create a fact (I can assume it to be true as the author never explained this and it's not that far fetched to assume an objective reality like we usually do). Thus even if no one was able to smell her, she would still smell bad nonetheless. Closing you eyes or being blind doesn't change what's in front of you (just an example, nothing against blinds). Considering all this my statement wasn't even that far fetched.
To conclude, who cares about anything I said above. If you understand that I'm joking, than consider it as satire. If I can't even do that (It doesn't seem to me like I'm violating any rule), than I'll wait for a moderator (your user level is not "Forum Moderator") to tell me I can't joke like this (call them if you like). Or I'll keep going. No one will prevent you from keeping on criticizing me every time I'll post a bad joke, though. Or at least it won't be me (but I may answer).
