I don't know everyone with Parkinson's, true. I know firsthand several people with Parkinson's, and they know firsthand many, many people with Parkinson's through support groups, and collectively none of them have had hallucination related sagas play out for their eyes and ears only. And to answer the question of how I know this, the wording in this specific commercial was discussed at one meeting, because there was curiosity as to how common this was. Now, is it possible that some people at that meeting actually have those symptoms and were ashamed to speak up? Sure, I guess. But the unanimous reaction was that they had never had that happen to them.
Also, I never said I hated anything. But the point is taken.
