  • The historical version of this was the ww2 airplane patch job stats, where american bombers returning after getting hit were hit in specific areas and the statistician had to explain that those who returned despite that damage meant those were not the places to reinforce but the other areas of the plane makeing it more survivable, or more recently how Santa Monica CA almost removed crosswalks because that was where the highest pedestrian mortally rates were. In both those cases the people making the assumptions missed the bigger picture, for the planes that those who got hit in more sensitive spots got downed and for pedestrians getting killed at crosswalks that was because that is where pedestrians cross the street most of the time, almost leading to more deaths.










  • Not reading comprehension just poor sentence structure, the way the sentence is written, with no separating comma for example, the statement states that the US is involved actively in both bombing Iran and Gaza. The Oxford comma is useful. If you/the original commenter mean that the fact that US bombs are being used in Gaza means the US is involved in bombing Gaza then you could just as easily say that Iran has actively been attacking Israel since October 7th 2023 since the evidence shows they provided not only some of the attack plans for that terrorist attack for multiple reasons but also provided the rockets training and funding gg for Hamas for that attack. I am not justifying US involvement in the middle east but my pet peeves are double standards, poor logic, and not communicating your point accurately, and that post could potentially be any or all of those.
