Are you saying that none of their original appliances have died?
If not, do you realize that you claiming
" If it was survivorship bias some of these appliances would've died."
When "these" refers exclusively to those who haven't died is the very definition of survivorship bias?
- xp84 3y agoI think he's saying Mom would have definitely remembered if she had had to replace every darn appliance in her house every 2-5 years, the way we do now, before eventually lucking out to find the one good washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc. made in their respective years.
- dw_arthur 3y agoI think a washer died around 35 years ago and her current washer is 35 years old. It seems improbable that so many 40+ year old appliances survived in one home if reliability rates or ease of repair were not significantly better in the past.
