You think A is much more likely than B and would bet accordingly, that's cool. How is either case a slap in the face? Winning 25/50 players make bank in the only case where DN is wrong. If someone would like to insult me by dropping > $1MM by my house, I'd say great. What reg would ever mind this? Only fans would care. It is impossible to be insulted by such a statement, unless your only motivation is to have people tell you how good you are at poker. People who like money are likely pretty happy. The further he is from being a winning player, the more they should welcome his action.
High stakes pros are still people. People who have worked really hard on something geneally take pride in it and take offense when someone people will listen to insults them. If he had a chance of actually following through they might shut up just to get him to play but the fact of the matter is he was never going to do it he just threw out a million because it seems like it could be an amount he would bet and he didn't think it would attract any action.

100nl/200nl is still pretty soft. Most regs are playing pretty straight forward and I'm 100% sure DN EASILY could crush those stakes without any practice (and 400nl/600nl too with a little practice). I'm positive I could teach a friend who knows nothing about poker how to beat 100nl in two weeks.
I don't think you realize how bad rake is at those levels. A 6ptbb winner pre-rake at 100nl becomes a losing player I'm pretty sure. And I will bet you any amount that you can't do teach a non-poker player to beat 100nl in 2 weeks literally any amount.

Most people proposing that 200nl and 100nl are v hard to beat are doing so to make themselves feel better about the fact its isnt so easy for them.
simple ego boosting.
If it was that hard then all the regs claiming this wouldn't be able to beat the game themselves.
Alot of people underestimating dneg
Someone who crushes 200nl who can put in ok volume is easily making 6 figures. Obviously if this were easy a lot more people would be doing it.
