This is the vast majority of the comments on 'hacker' 'news', including your own here.

Non everyone is like you either. That's the problem with a social media site like this one where anectdata is king.
- vidarh 7y agoI find this curious. I made no claim that my statements generalize to everyone. I gave an example of how it doesn't generalize the other way. I did not question that things aren't that way for the person I responded to, which necessarily suggests I accept entirely that not everyone is like me. I also explicitly said as much in my comment in the very first line by explicitly stating that I don't suggest their statements may be right for some people. If anything, I expect from experience that I'm in a relatively small minority.
