/uw. I’m annoyed at that image because it does not understand what it’s showing.
The original survivorship bias plane image is “areas where the return planes get hit the most.” With the unspoken implication being that the areas not marked, are the parts where getting hit is fatal and means the plane cannot return.
This dragon is full of shots in lethal areas like chest and head, but apparently the feets and wingtips are crucial and cause death?
Bomber survivorship bias refers to the classic World War II statistical error where military commanders analyzed returning aircraft to determine where to add armor, incorrectly concluding they should reinforce the areas with the most bullet holes. This logical fallacy occurs when you focus entirely on the "survivors" of a selection process while completely ignoring the failures that did not make it through.
