    Something similar? I read a picture wrong going of a fact I’ve heard before.

    I was just lazy I give you that. I did not double check but after someone pointed the mistake out I gave better numbers.

    So how is that similar to what happened before? My main point wasn’t that I distrust the numbers they are posting but the way it is not backed up with good explanations and/or potential causes.

    Reading back this comment does come off as overly defensive but I am genuinely confused what I did that is similar and how I should’ve behaved better in the face of my error.

      It’s similar in that you presented a position that was not backed up by a reasonable interpretation of the data you also provided.

      What you did was different, in that is was a brief misunderstanding of the wording rather than a fundamental misunderstanding of causation and correlation.

      it didn’t seem defensive as much as dismissive.

      Honestly i could have just been reading tone in your response that wasn’t there, i get that wrong more often than i would like, if so i apologise.
