Survivorship bias is a statistical concept, not just an episode in the Pacific. I described it in statistical terms, specifically "sample" and "population". Correctly. I will cite an example once I see you ask@Vegas for his definition, or his admission. Depending, of course, on your definition of "no cigar"...

            And he flips it on me again. 

When a sample fails to reflect "mortality" in the population being examined.

Vague. Not good enough. Math is precise. Vague definitions are completely unacceptable. This is a partial definition — it lacks clarity about why this matters (i.e. the distortion it causes) and how it happens (i.e. filtering out failures or dropouts).  

Try again. **** your partial ****.
