Thanks for sharing your experience. The overall dynamic is much broader of course. Have you studied statistics? Conducted an analysis? Read a statistical study

Thanks for sharing your experience. The overall dynamic is much broader of course. Have you studied statistics? Conducted an analysis? Read a statistical study? Designed an experiment? This (statistical analysis) is where I'd like to take the conversation, but I wanted to pause and see if that would be mutually interesting. I'm been "done" with non-systematic understandings for a long time. Typical opinion / "analysis" (as seen even in decent newspapers) is good practice for trotting out arguments, but it rarely synthesizes information broadly and convincingly.
