You're right. It's infotainment. So? Are you incapable of taking anything at face value? They aren't making claims about how the world works; they're making claims about how people interact on their site. If that's not interesting to you, flag it and move on.
- jacquesm 17y agoThe flaw here is that how people interact on their site has very little bearing on how those same people will interact in real life. The plural of data isn't evidence, even for large amounts of data. Sure you can do interesting statistical analysis, but the real action is after two people have found each other, and that's where the huge flaw is in all this analysis, the statements are about interactions in real life, the data is gathered online. Any kind of statement about people being more or less likable would have to be taken out of the context of the website and into real life, without that statements as listed above are unsupportable.
