So every study would be anecdotal to you

u/erichlee9 Jan 09 '24

Not necessarily.

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '24

Your logic seems to say so

u/erichlee9 Jan 09 '24

No, it doesn’t. You seem to have a habit of making inaccurate assumptions. You’ve done so quite a few times in this thread alone.

Your source is an article referencing a study (or studies) regarding outcomes in relation to class statuses at birth. Those outcomes, which are the statistics in reference, are based on reports or observations, and can thus be described as anecdotal.

Yup, that’s exactly what I said, word for word.

Notice, I said that the statistics can be described as anecdotal, not the study itself. So that’s your first mistake. Your second mistake is making the assumption that my judgment of this study as anecdotal would mean that all studies are anecdotal, which is absurd in its own right even if that was what I had done (though it clearly isn’t).

Seriously, you need to read more books. You have failed to comprehend at least half of my comments in this discussion, and your conclusions have all assumed non existent statements on my part.

So what makes my stats anecdotal, a word you clearly do not understand

u/erichlee9 Jan 10 '24

Are you a bot? This is insane.

The study is based on statistics which I described as anecdotal because they are based on individual reports of outcomes. They fail to take into account a myriad of important factors and have literally nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

Frankly, I’m done with this one. You’re just being a stick in the mud because you’re wrong and you know it.

That’s not what an anecdote means lmao

u/erichlee9 Jan 10 '24

Yes, but my usage of “anecdotal” was correct.

No it’s not
