THANK you.

To the OP: I'm sorry, but this type of post actually has negative information content. It results in baseless speculation, confirmation of readers' biases, small sample bias, arguments based on anecdotal experiences, and other senseless arguments which, in the end, make us all dumber for having read it.

This is not just you, this is a lot of people, here and everywhere on the internet. I've been guilty of it too, and I probably will screw up and do it again in the future. Do yourself, and everyone else, a favor and educate yourself on statistics and data analysis. In the meantime, we could all go by livedarklions' example and not jump to conclusions that are not supported by the data.
