I don't think anybody here understands what survivorship bias is.

Not a single post in this thread shows any understanding of it. Shockingly, BV comes the closest to explaining it

The point is that he thinks he knows, when I had clearly shown that he didn't. Yet, with his usual arrogant conviction, he insists that he is right, as always. 

Here is the definition. His fallacy was that the article only considered 13% of Republicans (as opposed to 57% dims.). He was only focusing on the existing data of that 13%, when the sample clearly left out a huge sample of Republicans. The article even admitted that. He interpreted it as presidents who are alive. Hence, "survivorship." He was taking the word literally. I wouldn't care if he just admitted that he **** up. I would let it go. We all make mistakes, who cares? But his arrogant narcissistic retarded *** won't allow for that. Thus, I have no choice but to embarrass him.

Survivorship bias is a type of sample selection bias that occurs when a data set only considers “surviving” or existing observations and fails to consider observations that already ceased to exist.
