re: #13 Colère Tueur de Lapin

There are a couple of simple tropes that they learn and adhere to, which they wont. Anecdotes are not data nor is common sense very often common or sense.

Data: “Male smokers are 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer than male nonsmokers”

Anecdote: “My Grandpappy smokes a pack of unfiltered Camels every day, and he’s 90!”

Guess which one makes the biggest impression on the layman.
