This really is a poor example. The vast majority of children who grew up doing "dangerous" activities are still alive and well. Survivorship bias is more often used when the chance of surviving is statistically lower than most people realize.
- emteycz 5y agoIt's still survivorship bias. They're only happy about it because nothing bad occurred to them, while there really are kids that got sick and I bet they're much less positive about these dangerous things they got to do.
- MathCodeLove 5y agoI didn't say it wasn't, just that it was a poor example of it as the vast majority of kids ended up okay.
