But you're one of the clued up minority, right?

Data is only a collection of anecdotes

And yes, I consider myself fairly well-informed.

@JonoMarshall

Well yes, data isn't proof. That doesn't mean it's impossible to make probable statements based on it.

I dislike arguing semantics but data often is proof. Anecdotal data isn't. Perhaps I'm splitting hairs.

The Brexit IQ debate is almost as bad as Charles Murray using his bell curve to focus on racial differences in IQ. It's not that the data is false... it's WHY are we even focussing on that data?!
