I'm actually interested in the data driven argument the poster I responded to, particularly using those studies he mentioned, not a logical debate on the topic. If you're not using real data, people on the other side often just hand wave away your objections and no one convinces anyone.

Induction is much more likely to convert the person you're talking to than deduction, as it gets around values to a degree.



Okay, in specific terms, for only myself, then:

When I saw this headline, it elicited a minor "groan" from me, since it reminded me of some less-desirable elements within the greater community. It, on some level, reminds me that sometimes I wish I was doing something else.

This plugs into what I said before.
