Car accidents for the lose

If you're implying that's something I do, just presenting a number is not enough. What you have to show are the measurement methods and assumptions used to derive that number, so they can be examined critically. A good example of this are the ESA numbers of gamer demographics, which ESA uses to make all kinds of political points favorable to them. What they fail to mention is they consider someone a gamer if he played one free puzzle game within say the last year (or something like that). People then proceed to make all kinds of conclusions using those numbers about gamers who regularly buy $60 games.

I'm implying that my roommate does that, a LOT.

 

 

But since you're mentioning things, at least you demonstrated that the ESA numbers are questionable because of their methodology. My roommate goes "I don't believe the numbers because I feel the world is actually different." "Based on what" "The logical constructions I have made in my head."

 

Okay then

 

 

 

Even then, I wonder how much of it is the ESA's fault.
