Truisms are some of the things you should test the most, because it you don't, people just keep making the wrong assumptions. Think bleeding with medicine.

- anigbrowl 5y agoIt's almost a truism by now because the observation has been made, with evidence, so many times.
- enkid 5y agoOk, so maybe something that is almost a truism because it was repeated many times by one newspaper should also be validated...?
- anigbrowl 5y agoNot because it was repeated, because it was supported with evidence. Don't be in such a rush to reply that you skip parts of the comment.
- enkid 5y agoI'm sure that the economist would state only things they believe they have some sort of evidence for. But, once again, saying a newspaper published some sort of causative relationship "with evidence" does not prove it should be taken at face value.
- cowpig 5y agoI would love to learn more about this topic. Would you care to provide a compelling example of this observation being made with evidence?
