There is a burden of proof. You can claim whatever, doesn't mean others have to believe you. I can say short people are involved in more accidents than tall people. That's as supported as your claim. I would expect people to dismiss my claim just like yours.
- pfannkuchen 1y agoThere isn’t a burden of proof on the internet. You can say “I haven’t seen that effect, and therefore I disagree”. And I can’t stop you. If you haven’t seen that effect, perhaps your experience is more representative. You can’t say “you don’t have a study to back up your account of your lived experience, and therefore you can’t make small scale explanatory suggestions based on your lived experience”. Stature induced accidents is a false comparison unless you have witnessed short people driving erratically. Have you? I again suggest that you are misattributing your feelings here. You are not upset because I haven’t linked a study, you are upset because I have said something that violates your morality. And this is the way that you know to push back. But your reason for pushing back is on a different dimension from what you are saying and probably what you are experiencing internally as well. Morality is a tricky thing.
