Usage of more common
Is the following usage of 'more common' correct ?
Person A to Person B: This event never takes place .
Person B to Person A : This event is more common than you say.
As per my understanding , when we use more common , both events should be taking place .So , its usage to compare with someone thinking that the event never takes place doesn't make sense .
