I didn’t draw these conclusions over night. I’ve been observing for a long time. People trying to get the truth out indeed do rely on facts, evidence and logic. People attempting to spread a belief detached from facts resort to ad hominem, personal attacks, and attempts to silence anyone with a dissenting view. I’ve seen it again and again; it is normative.

True, the middle of the bell curves may skew a particular direction different from each other.

However, when you make a specific prediction or labeling from the generalized group thing--you are on thin ice. It may be a conjecture a bit better than chance ... or it may not be.

That is precisely what you are doing. And, yes, I am in fact entitled to my own facts.
