Considering that statement is laughably inaccurate, I would have to say that your reputation for lying remains intact.Considering 80% of the population lives within 15 miles of the coast I would say your cavalier attitude is a bit misplaced.
"What percentage of Americans live within 100 miles of the coast?
As of 2014, nearly 40% of the population lived in counties on the coast. Though home to almost 40% of the U.S. population, coastal areas account for less than 10% of the total land in the contiguous United States. In the U.S., 127 million people live in coastal counties.Feb 26, 2021"
