I said "1% of the tested population". NOT "1% of the general population".



Well, a few things. The example started being one where we presumed the dude had the disease, where that consideration wouldn't even arise. And it still omits important information to simply provide a statistic on the "tested population" without providing background on why someone would be tested.

But more importantly, I actually gave you the correct answer, which was more or less the same one Dew did (except I forgot to add a the numerator to the denominator). I don't understand why you chose to focus on the first part of my answer (which excluded the testing issue) rather than the second part, which actually incorporated your point.
