Yes, that was the point. My statement carries equal evidentiary weight to yours, which is to say, none, because anecdote isn’t evidence.
Well actually anecdotal evidence *is* a form of evidence but again, I’m not citing anecdote. By all means speak to some pollsters if you like. Do some research. I’ve written thousands of words on this.

Anecdote is not a form of evidence in statistics because it represents a sample size of 1. And a thousand words is roughly two sides of letter-size single spaced paper, so not much impressed by that.

And can you think of any other factor that represents 96% of the population other than cellphone use? It’s hard to think of anything more universal and relevant to a poll, in terms of things most adults have in common.

Plus, congrats on no fewer than three argumental fallacies in a single tweet - that is impressive! (Argument to authority, well-poisoning, and ad hominem)

Oh God, you’re one of these “ACKSHUALLY” people. Bro, this is why people move away from you at parties. Have a conversation like a normal person and without appealing to the authority (ha!) of “logical fallacies.”
