You can’t get a more biased sampling methodology than this.
- ineedasername 7y agoWell, maybe you could get more biased, if you really really tried for it. It would be an interesting contest to have.
- ma2rten 7y agoYou realize that this a common figure of speech and usually not meant literally, don't you?
- ineedasername 7y agoAbsolutely. But the level of selection bias on display here is extreme enough that it's almost easier to believe it was done deliberately, if naively. Which suggests the potential for a contest of sorts where participants would compete against each other for the most biased method of selecting research participants. It could be fun, in a cards-against-humanity sort of way.
