Yet personal experiences do happen and shape us, and we talk about it and propagate the skewed perceptions seasoned with half-assed ruminations. I'll make an example of how this works between well intentioned people: My wife is an excellent driver. We live in small town, in a country where infrastructure predates cars. Roads are very narrow, often on steep inclines, and flanked by tall stone walls. My wife regularly complains of large SUVs stuck unable to maneuver. On her account, they are almost always driven by women. Her reaction is invariably: "if you can't drive, just get a nornal-sized car!". As this happens again and again, with caring frequency etc, occasionally we talk about it ans wonder about this pattern and what may cause it, or whether it is real. My wife's theory is that some women feel unsafe in a car and solve the problem by buying a bigger car instead of getting some practice. And here we are spreading crappy anecdata. But that's life, that's how human interact.
