   I see a lot of "I survived..." memes from Boomers and Gen-Xers. Spankings, playgrounds, drinking from the hose, you name it. Yeah, you survived. But 1) There are those who didn't. And 2) One would think you'd do more than survive your childhood. God forbid you actually THRIVED. Can you thrive under those conditions you brag about when combined with all the other conditions of those eras? I don't know.

     @rochelle @hauntedhideaway That never happened, they just handed the problem off to a group of statisticians and they invented a opposition to their claim. The brass didn't know what to think of it. Otherwise the problem never would've been handed off to them.

     @rochelle Survivorship Bias is strong. I'm thinking of the planes that came back, and they wanted to reinforce where they took the hits, but really they needed to reinforce it where the planes that didn't come back took the hits.

     @hauntedhideaway When my kids were in car seats, I was really strict about them always using them and always being buckled in correctly. I got push back from various people who would say, "I didn't use a car seat as a kid and I survived fine!" Sure, but how about all the kids who didn't? I just don't understand that "well, I survived!" line of thought.
