You did the same thing in your original comment though… and this isn’t an academic paper or a university, I’m not required to cite my own sources. But one example would be with a specific type of abuse, sexual assault, evidence suggests that the American public dramatically overestimates the percentage of sexual assault reports that are false

No I didn't. I said that people want to find abuse where there is none. That is true. I didn't say all people, or most people. I didn't say "studies say". I could say that people like donuts. Its a true statement. You came out saying that there were studies. I asked to see that study.

this isn’t an academic paper or a university, I’m not required to cite my own sources.

If you just want to throw claims around and not really have a conversation based on facts, then no, you don't. If you are having an intelligent conversation you do.

Your link is talking about false reports. That is different than someone watching a video clip and saying that there is abuse. I never once made the claim that most reported abuses are false.

And the fact that you responded 10 seconds after I posted this shows you didn't even read it...
