Just like not all Cfa climates get snowfall, so do not all Cfb climates get predominantly drizzle/light rainfall. That's such a self-explanatory statement, that it doesn't need evidence.
What statement did I make that you think is incorrect? None of you response contradicts my quote. That is self-explanatory, but I never made a statement disagreeing.

Also, you never referred specifically to a Koppen climate type earlier

Light rain is more a feature of latitude and geography, rather than climate type. That means that climate groups that span big ranges of latitude and have diverse geography, will have very different types of rainfall. I would think that's self-explanatory, but having posters saying that Oceanic climate= low rain-day/rainfall ratios, suggests that it isn't.

Theropod referred specifically to a climate type (Oceanic) with the claim that NZ gets a low rain-day/rainfall ratio.

True, it drizzled every time it rained, last time I was there.

I referring more to the frequency of drizzle/light rain being higher with higher latitude and depending on geography.
