whether it's a survey or not is a straw man, and you know it. it's bad faith to argue along these lines given that the primary criticism leveled was regarding sampling.
if you want to back up your point, speak to that. how does this show anything about the ~99% of people who have never used okcupid? on what grounds do you believe okcupid to be a representative sample?

- mpweiher 4y ago> whether it's a survey or not is a straw man No it's not. The post I replied to mentions "survey" four times, once per sentence. It mentions "sample" once. > on what grounds do you believe okcupid to be a representative sample? On what grounds do you believe okcupid to not be a sufficiently representative sample? UPDATE: it was 4 times, not 3, so once per sentence.
