I pointed out that there might be a correlation and described a sensical hypothetical link.
you respond definitively claiming that you know the answer, not causation.
- hnlmorg 5y agoChill buddy, I wasn't claiming to know the answer. I was just saying I think your hypothesis is unlikely and gave a counter-theory. That's generally how discourse works and it's definitely not a personal attack. I will say calling your own hypothetical link as "sensical" is a little presumptuous though. The very fact I disagreed in the first place should be evidence that it's sensical to everyone. :)
- fsckboy 5y agoit's not my own hypothetical link, it's widely suggested in microeconomic circles
- hnlmorg 5y agoI heard all sorts of hypothetical links suggested in microeconomic circles. Some of them contradict other hypothetical links and it's hard to really prove these things given the huge number of variables involved. However this particular suggestion still seems rather unlikely to me.
