If you say so? shrug

  No, because you made a strawman argument. It seems you're also unclear as to what "evidence-based" actually means.

    No. I've just grown very bored with people citing this and that over about five decades of living, which goes against my personal experience :-) Of course this will confirm to you that I'm just a stubborn old fart, getting more and more senile and set in my ways. But again: Shrug?

      This is a safe space, and you can be as stubborn as you want to be. I'm tired of citations as well. I just find that reality is often greatly more nuanced, and contains many more contradictions and exceptions than we might want it to be/have. That's why I tend to be a suspicious of broad, predictive patterns, and prefer to sit back and wait for the boring factual details to trickle in. Either way, thanks for clarifying.
