let's go with basic logic:

-playing more hits than he did in the '90s does not make it a greatest hits tour. only a few hits have been added to the repotoire from the '90s tours!

-less hits are being performed on this tour than on the sound and vision tour DESPITE longer setlists

-PRACTICALLY EVERY SINGLE HIT was played on the sound and vision tour ON A NIGHTLY BASIS! that is the very definition of a greatest hits tour. the reality tour, on the other hand, plays some hits a lot, some hits occasionally, and some hits not at all

-fans expecting a greatest hits show on the reality tour would be somewhat disappointed

-the songs performed on sound and vision that aren't technically hits were still amongst his most popular songs. several songs on reality tour are less well-known, such as 'the motel'

-everyone can agree that his pre-'90s work is the most popular. the S&V tour featured entirely pre-90s material

-a tour featuring a significant amount of new material is not a greatest hits tour!!!

IF "GREATEST HITS" WAS DEFINED BY YOU, NEARLY EVERY TOUR OUT THERE WOULD BE A GREATEST HITS TOUR

ask a handful of people at the show if they're there because it's a greatest hits show. they'd either say no or look at you funny (although in your case i'm not sure you'd know the difference between that and the way they normally look at you)

-you're is the same crazy bastard that said something like 20% of the reality crowds would be there exclusively to see macy gray at the shows that she opened. maybe that's why attendance has spiked!

-you're also the same crazy bastard that said attendance is sometimes increased in part because the price goes up. maybe that's why attendance has spiked!

"eh, i'm not terribly interested in seeing bowie anymore"
"but...but...he's playing modern love and blue jean sometimes. and you can pay more this time! and MACY GRAY is opening!!!
"holy shit! count me in!!!

facts and truth aren't that reliable

the problem is that you use facts for something entirely different from the truth
