I never accused you of lying, Father. I'm just glad to see that you're providing some sources.

Didn't think you were. I just generally "steelman" opposing arguments, as the kids say. If I'm wrong, at best I'm mistaken, but at worst I'm lying. So I just go with the worst assumption.

Okay Father, last night on the stream, you claimed that the population of the True Orthodox of Greece is 40% of the 10.4 million population. That's straight-up dishonest.

No it isn't. I said it could be.
I'm ok with 20 percent, 30 percent, but again I'm going by MP claims and the current state of Greece.

Also I thought Greece's population was 12 million?

Very vague estimates. And you still haven't provided the numbers. Russian Wikipedia doesn't count as a source.

40% of the regular church-going population of Greece being True Orthodox is believable, but 4 million out of 10 million Greeks being baptized members of a True Orthodox synod? I don't think so.

On the previous page, Fr Joseph wrote :

"the last 5 years have been very interesting"

Why would that BE ? The fake-pan-demonic ? What effect did THAT have, if that's to what you referred ?
