You explain OHKO moves to a normal person, and they might think they're bad because a 30% chance to hit and a 70% chance to not hit means that OHKO moves are a waste of a move slot 70% of the time.
If they're extra stupid, they might think that OHKO moves are OP because 4x30=120, which means that you're guaranteed to land an OHKO within 4 moves because 120% is more than 100%.
When in reality, if you click an OHKO move twice, it has a 51% chance to hit, 3 times a 66% chance, 4 times a 76% chance, 5 times an 83% chance, 6 times an 88% chance, 7 times a 91% chance, and 8 times gives you a 94% chance of at least one hitting.
With 8 PP, you will land your OHKO move an average of 2.4 times. Which, across 6 Pokemon, means that a sweep is actually pretty likely.
To digress, Yawnfag is on an advanced level of retardation, claiming that OHKO moves will always work when you need them to, while simultaneously claiming that they're not OP because they only beat stall.
It's not just that he's wrong, but that he operates under a misconception that should make him wrong in the complete opposite way.
And this applies to every single opinion that he holds. It's almost impressive.
