128. Again, you're using the modifier of "most people"

which neither of us stated in our posts in this subthread. Perhaps you need to edit you post upthread if you are going to insist on that statement.

The facts stated by the OP are experience-based, something that is indeed accepted as being factual. Unless your only criteria for that definition is that it must come from some accredited source? Because, to me, firsthand experience is as much a fact as a statement from a highly-educated researcher, or whatever constitutes your definition of "factual."

The "conversation" is the subthread you created.

"Number" of people has nothing to do with the fact that people get an endorphin rush on eating ghost peppers, and others that are hotter than a habanero. If even just two people in the world get that effect, then calling them "people" is factual. However, anyone with any knowledge about why enough people eat these insanely hot peppers would also be able to see just how popular these peppers have become (and how profitable.) If there was no profit, we likely would never have seen these peppers introduced to this country.

People want that pain because it gives them a rush lasting at least as long as the pain before it fades. Read the links I provided so I don't have to do your research for you. Unless you're just lazy that way...
