Which also doesn't hold. I'm willing to invest my money, but I'm not sticking it into penny stocks. Your reasoning ignores any sort of reasonable boundary people have wrt risk.
- maxerickson 8y agoThat's not what correlated means.
- EpicEng 8y agoYou're right. Correlated does not mean "people who have historically take risks will take any risk regardless of the danger."
- maxerickson 8y agoWhich shouldn't have quote because it wasn't what I said, and isn't even a fair reading of what I said. Correlated implies a statistical relationship, ruling out phrases like "will take any risk regardless" and requiring phrases more like "may tend to" and such. And then I even said that I "expect" the correlation, so it's probably reasonable to read the usage as more conversational than scientific.
