It's just saying the majority of who was polled demonstrated that trait, it doesn't mean EVERYONE will. --- Tell me how you feel upon learning that I write MLP fanfiction. <cite>Solid Sonic posted [p:929338000] in Is it amus...

pinky0926 10/28/19 9:47:50 AM #4:	Statistics are interesting because they can be entirely factual and also entirely misleading at the same time. It's very easy to extrapolate false conclusions from completely correct statistics and it explains so much of what is in the news. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:929338097] in Is it amus...

DevsBro 10/28/19 9:51:52 AM #7:	It's more about context. Sure, it's true that X% of Y is/does Z, but if you bring this up in a discussion about Y when nobody asked about Z, it's clear you're doing it to stir up trouble. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:929338216] in Is it amus...
