 The red line is a literal reflection of the blue line around the 50% mark—data point for data point—what gives? "makes me doubt the entire pic tbh" Not even wrong.  The only way to generate such a close 1-to-1 correspondence in data sets that *we perceive as unconditionally complementary to each other*-- AKA a metaphysical bias-- is to take one profile, subtract it from 100% and plot the result. If the authors had legitimately polled every state in question we would clearly see distinctive "noise" that distinguishes the plots. "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool."-- R.P. Feynman In other words, this plot implies a zero margin of error in the data gathering methodology.

Nope. Error bars are not the only way to qualify or quantify error margins. Their inclusion or omission counts for nothing on their own beyond inducing a metaphysical urge on the reader’s part. The conclusion in question is evident from the data as plotted.

That is the gimmick, yes. Nevertheless the text makes me so angry. "The only way to get this is to take one set of data and subtract it from 100%." Yes! Correct! You have successfully read the graph! Now engage with its content!

Metaphysics. This is a question of data gathering methodology, its limitations, and its implications for presenting said data. Notions such as “consistency” and “smoothness” need not apply.

This is pretty fitting, because Adam wasn't really at fault for being a monster. But people treated him as an abomination and outcast and was forced to become a monster. If they had a system in place that accepted and treated Adam equally, he would have been a fine dude.

With all due respect, this entire comment thread makes a case for why Western culture needs to promote alternatives to Aristotelian binary logic when it comes to making any inferences on the basis of incomplete information. This is one of the best and most accessible books on the relationship between logical inference and statistical inference, for anyone interested. https://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/prob/book.pdf Why might a drop in proportion of new cases in states under one party’s leadership NOT NECESSARILY mean that there is a simultaneously *corresponding* rise in proportion elsewhere? (Think about all of the things represented in the plotted data, ranging from test accuracy to test precision to researcher sampling policies and so on.) This exercise is left to the reader.

Sunswipe posted:"It's not the government's job to take care of us." Then what's it for? I genuinely don't understand this attitude. I'm not sure how to judge people like this because it seems like two possible reasons: 1. They literally don't like the idea of a government that provides for its people. They think a Star Trek type universe where most menial labor doesn't have to be done for poverty wages is in fact a bad thing. I attribute part of this to the mentality that causes people to prioritize "making a lot more than my neighbor" over "everyone making a little more." They unironically believe survival of the fittest is a good model for society. 2. They actually would like a good, providing government. They're just too entrenched in identity politics/being dipshits to ever admit it.

Lottery of Babylon posted:Why might a drop in proportion of new cases in states under one party’s leadership NOT NECESSARILY mean that there is a simultaneously *corresponding* rise in proportion elsewhere? It's looking at the daily case count. And graphing what percent of those cases were in red states vs. blue states, as determined by the party of the state's governor. Since all the states fall into one of those two categories, then  , a drop in one DOES necessarily mean a rise in the other.You're arguing that a graph that's barely more complex than Skittels Amount doesn't have enough shades of nuance to draw conclusions that it's not actually claiming to draw.
