LOL. The poster says they'll personally trust the survey if there's more people involved and you jump all over them like they need to prove a goddamn doctoral thesis.

Bro wants me to write a 60 page dissertation to prove that a survey sent out by some dentist can’t conclusively represent millions of people through 22 respondents.

Jumping all over them? I’m just pointing out how surveys fundamentally work…

Mmmmhmm

Exactly. If you don’t know why those things are important in drawing conclusions from surveys, you fundamentally don’t understanding survey making and statistics.

Dude had a personal opinion.

Yes, based on a poor understanding of how surveys work… I asked to explain that opinion and they had no explanation…
Uninformed opinions are dangerous. I’m sure you can agree with that.

Yes, that's true, but there's no need to jump down someone's throat like that either. Just explain how statistical analysis works rather than asking them if they can provide a statistical analysis and evidence to support it when they almost certainly don't have access to the materials to do that, as well as the time involved, just to make a simple, offhand reddit comment. It's beyond pedantry.

Uh, I didn’t jump down anyone’s throat. I asked a few questions about how they came to a conclusion.
Basic statistics 101 isn’t pedantry. It’s elementary. It’s fundamental.

By the way, these aren’t doctoral level concepts. They’re statistics 101. It’s stuff that stuck with me from a 9th grade math class. 🤷🏻♂️
