That's the trick! no one can because they don't share the data or methodologies What is your data and methodology? Ziprecruiter is a site companies post jobs. You don't know where their data comes from? What about the other links? Why do you ignore them? What I'm saying is only based on my experience, What experience? the appeal to authority fallacy Posting data from a company that collects that data is not "appeal to authority". You have this completely wrong. Appeal to authority would be someone claiming your boss is right about something they know nothing about because they're your boss. Key parts of are lack of expertise and a lack of evidence. These two things don't apply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority https://www.grammarly.com/blog/rhetorical-devices/appeal-to-authority-fallacy/ https://www.grammarly.com/blog/rhetorical-devices/appeal-to-... Seriously try rethinking this all from the ground up. Go and find someone in your life and show them this conversation and see if they think someone linking you wage stats from a jobs site and two other places and you saying "no I don't think so" are the same thing. Don't forget that you not only claimed remote workers were "incredibly well paid" but also that they are "eating up real estate in expensive areas". Are you ready to walk that back since you can't do anything but repeat that you believe it for no reason?
