    Why exclude “somewhat positive”?

    Because they’re making their argument in bad faith, or they stopped after getting the part they wanted and didn’t bother looking any further.

      Who is ‘they’? The ‘somewhat positive’ people are bad faith, or finitebanjo is bad faith?

        finitebanjo has some pretty obvious ‘lying with statistics’ vibes. He said only 18% approved of Luigi’s actions when I can say only 41% view Luigi’s actions as negative. They were just cherry picking some stats.

          Ah yes. The vibes. Always reliable. Except it’s actually 61% negative. Should I accuse you of lying now?

            You are adding ‘not sure’ as a negative. I didn’t. That’s why statistics are so much fun.

              No I’m not.

              The difference is I don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

              Read the survey again. We are talking about the full population, not only young people.

                You’re right. I stopped at the first graph because I didn’t do my due diligence. I just get tired of arguing statistics with people. I read through more of the graphs and that difference would make sense to me only if they asked more people over 45 than under 45. I would have to see more of the survey info. People can make graphs and random breakdowns by group to argue many different points.
