Oh c'mon. Just because I made a mistake doesn't mean that I'm dishonest. After all, you are the one that said your package has "0 entries in popcon"[1], then tried to change it to "used"[2] once I had shown you to be incorrect (knowing full well that "used" is a different category in popcon), then said that I gave the "impression" that nobody was installing your packages, even when my own figures showed some of them were installed on 3% of the machines. This is being honest how.
