Sirvivorship bias is a SAMPLING error.

Sampling is a statistical exercize...

It isn't about "perception"

This isn't for innumerate Level 0.16s..

Oh my God. You are so **** hopeless. Survivorship bias is a sampling error? That’s like saying a heart attack is just a little chest discomfort. Sure, it involves flawed sampling, but reducing it to that completely misses the point. The real issue is how it distorts interpretation by focusing only on the “survivors” and ignoring the losses, failures, or those filtered out of the dataset. It absolutely shapes perception—especially in economics, finance, and public policy, because people draw conclusions from what’s visible, not from what’s missing. That’s the entire danger of the bias. Idiot. But hey, keep pretending it’s just a stats footnote if that helps you sleep through your own argument.
