>>I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. Some people go out of their way to argue non-scientifically just because they can't stand to be wrong.
Not many people like to be wrong, or to be told they're wrong when their experience and context may not match yours.
Happy to leave it there.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
