Re: Sorry for getting all unfunnybusiness...
Why does everyone cling to anecdata when there is plenty of evidence otherwise?

We do it about sex, gender, skin color, nationality, language, hair color, clothing, music, weather patterns... everything. It was likely good for survival when we told Igg she shouldn't try to keep a sabertooth tiger as a pet because this one time a sabertooth tiger ate our cousin Ogg, but in the modern world, not so good. And everyone does do it; gods know I catch myself doing it a lot.
