I am not the person you're replying to but I reached the same conclusion that they have. When someone claims as impossible that which you have experienced (and in fact, experienced consistently across decades) - at some point you have to conclude that they simply lack the experience that would make this as obvious to them. It's not a bad thing but it's just kinda real.
It's like the opposite of survivorship bias. Because you have only seen things go badly, you conclude the good is impossible, something like that.
- bumby 3y agoI did not read the original comment as "claims as impossible" but rather "not very generalizable". One of the important things about receiving feedback IMO is to steelman the feedback as much as possible.
- lazyasciiart 3y agoHow odd that both of you made the same unsupported assumption that someone calling something surprising is actually saying it is impossible.
