Reply to comment by RunnyDischarge in Renting With Pitbull by weebchildren

love the downvotes for facts. Pit bull owners are the Flat Earthers of the dog world.

Actually it's y'all. Misunderstanding statistics and research, misquoting data, who sound like flat earthers.

It's like you've never heard of "selection bias" or never took a class that included research fundamentals.

In half of all attacks the breed is unknown.

Of course the worst attacks will be over-reported.

People who play the lottery are bad with money.

It's a selection bias. The conclusion you're drawing (that pitbulls are dangerous) is not what research on the number of dog bites measures.

Doesn't that register with you? That you're not drawing a right conclusion from your data?

Do you not see the flaw in your reasoning?

The downvotes are because you're quoting a tally and saying it is evidence of propensity.

You can't use a thermometer as a clock.

How do you figure? Counting the number of events doesn't tell you anything about the cause of the events.

This is basic research skills.

Not complicated but for some reason you can't grasp it.
