To give some backstory here, I was exposing Veghead's stupid article about his usual presidential rankings. He was using a fallacy that is called "survivorship bias." Now, I don't expect people to know offhand what that means. However, given how much Veghead brags that he has superior aptitude in stats...and math in general, there was no need for me to define the fallacy. He should already know since it's a common term in stats. So, what did he think it meant? He took it literally and thought it meant dead presidents. LOL! The bolded quote at the end proves how intellectually superior he is. Image I am left with no choice, but to publicly embarrass him.Vegas » Yesterday, 9:36 pm » wrote: ↑ Stop fishing for help.

On the very off chance that you answer (which we both know that you won't) I will give an explanation as to why you are either correct or incorrect. Additionally, I will give an explanation as to why your definition fits all options.
Also, I expect you to give an account as to why you chose your answer. This gives way to any guesswork.
@Blackvegetable I will never let you live this gem down. Survivorship bias = dead presidents. Image
Tell everyone how Survivorship bias affected the results of the APSA survey
