Ah, so really, I'm not an individual when on social media, I'm part of a hive, and I have hive responsibilities. Got it. Sounds very "liberal."

What are the boundaries of this principle of not expressing a rational opinion for fear of being 1/400,000th of a dogpile? Whenever prison time is at stake? A job? Shame? Hurt feelings?
-
I'm not opposing expressing rational opinions.

Okay, well, if you want to put meat on the bones of your take here, go ahead, but I'm not going to keep firing shots in the dark until I have its outline.

I'm not sure what's unclear tho. I am disagreeing that we should think statistically abt guilt going on previous cases and saying that stating what is known & unknown without assuming guilt or innocence is ideal.
-
You're arguing against inductive reasoning. The presence or absence of characteristics of previous cases that make them reliable--multiple accusers, thorough reporting, corroboration, etc.--are what make a putative case more or less reliable.
-
This would seem to be a different thing tho. In that case, it is the evidence rather than the statistics that matter, isn't it? I'm lost now.
