With arbitrary assumptions about statistics, you can "statistically prove" pretty much anything. Until the 2% figure is substantiated, it's all baloney.

- harryh 7y agoThere's also the fact that advertisers spend many millions of dollars buying these ads, so they have a pretty large financial incentive to do it well.
- smsm42 7y agoYou are assuming there's a way to do it well and not well, but what if nobody actually knows how it is - doing it well? What if marketing is just given a budget of X million dollars to spend on advertising, but nobody there actually knows whether doing X or Y works, but they know everybody does X, so if they do X, there's no chance they'd be fired for that?
