BV is obsessed with my definition of survivorship bias because he doesn't know what it is, so he needs me. 

Survivorship Bias for Dumbassess like Veghead:
Survivorship bias is the logical error of drawing false conclusions (something that BV does very well) from the things that made it through while ignoring the things that didn’t. This could be due to (but not limited to)  failures that are invisible, discarded into BV's jackhole, or inconvenient to the story being told...such as BV's TDS threads. 



Now let's compare this to his definition:

****'s definition of Surviborshop Bias
"it is the mortality of the data."          

"mortality of the data” is a fascinating definition, mostly because it applies to almost everything, which means it explains almost nothing.

By that logic:

• My unread emails suffer from survivorship bias
• Dinosaurs committed survivorship bias by going extinct
• My gym membership proves survivorship bias because only my couch survived

Data “dying” is not survivorship bias.

Survivorship bias is based on selection. If mortality alone qualified, then every dataset ever would be guilty, which is less a definition and more a poetic shrug.

Every choice in the multiple choice question applies to his lame *** definition.

Yeah...there is no **** way I am going back to dig it up. Not a chance. 

I will say that you never objected before when I posted it.

      Copies me again. Thereby, proving, once more, that he has no thoughts of his own.

You have been trying to do that since 2017. You end up flopping on your face every time.

Yeah, ok. Let me know when that happens. In the meantime: 


Defend it or it continues. 

Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?

C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.

You will get the answer after you defend it. You won't like the answer, but you will get it.


And believe me...you will not like the answer.            But I will love it.

It's one thing defending it to my equal, and another in terms that a 5 year can comprehend. 

I'll need to know my audience..

Your needs are not important to me. Look...haven't ylou figured out by now that you have no leverage?

I am the one controlling this. Not you. 

Defend it...or don't. I don't give a ****.
