Really you demand a citation and then it's given you dismiss immediately while also admitting you won't even bother reading it because it doesn't support your view. Why did you even ask?
- danharaj 11y agoNo, that's not why I won't bother reading. I won't bother reading it because I've found AEI to be garbage before and I have a finite supply of energy and time to verify claims which I thus prioritize based on my perceived quality of the source. To take it to an extreme, I don't bother verifying claims made by neonazis. AEI is obviously not that bad, but it's also not good enough for me to care. What kind of amateur mistakes can AEI make? Well for one, I bet this analysis of the data falls victim to Simpson's paradox. Basic shit like that happens all the time in their analyses.
- vanattab 11y agoSurely if happens all the time you can give us some links to the offending articles and explain how they fall victim to Simpsons pardox or other logical errors... I promise to actually read them.
