It’s an observation, not a conclusion ya nitwit.

The absence of scientifically rigorous, high sample size experimentally proven, well substantiated, documented reproducible conclusions does not render the observation wrong in and of itself because they’re just not in the same category.
Observation is the first step to formulating a theory, which leads to a hypothesis, which can be experimentally tested.

That would be valid if it was what you did. Except you didn’t. You assumed the hypothesis to be true and asked us why it’s true. You should instead be asking whether or not it’s true.

And you reckon asking why something is true isn’t the same as asking if something is true?
howrar@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
It is not the same thing. When you ask why X is true, you’re not only asking the question. You’re also making the claim that X is true. Since the premise of the question is wrong, you’re making everyone do extra work to figure out why your question isn’t making sense to them and what question you actually need to have answered.
You can invite speculation without making false claims. You also haven’t contributed anything other than anecdotes despite having made that false claim.

Except this isn’t how language works, “Why do all the Asians wear black jeans?” invites both questions, unless the former is explicitly stated as a fact. It is obvious that any such thing is an unfalsifiable observation.
People aren’t robots. “you’re making everyone do extra work” - not how people work, not how reasoning works. Viewing something through a framework of even incorrect assumptions can provide unique insight. That is inviting speculation.
On the other hand - you’re continuously asserting my claim is false but have provided no proof of this.
You have only questioned the proof of my claim, which yes - is anecdotal only, pure observation, as I readily admitted, and was never intended as a fact.
