Do you also read a lot of fiction? The amount of non-fiction alone would not tell you anything.

So your argument is that fiction-reading in any real amount leads to liberalism, regardless of other factors? You've got a "one-drop" rule but for fiction consumption? Even if this was a reasonable stance, what points could possible be extrapolated from this?

Okay, explain how I've mischaracterized your point. Because she points out that she's a scientist, that she reads primarily non-fiction, but you argue that the amount of fiction she -does- read proves your point about her trend towards liberalism.

Did you think I claimed reading fiction turns all people into Democrats?

You certainly implied it. Fiction is correlated to empathy, which implies liberal leaning.

Incorrect. I made no assertions about specific individuals. That would have been stupid. The hypothesis is about the average of the group.

But when presented with counter-examples, you provided "well, you also read fiction" as argument for why your hypothesis is still valid. In fact, you've done that multiple times throughout this thread. So either you're presenting that as a valid counterargument or you're not.

Not. People with good reading comprehension understand that.

I recommend to you a course in statistics (you'll learn about inferential statistics in probably the first week of Stats 101) and a lesson or two in appropriate debate strategies. Good day.

My economics degree included that stuff. They taught me that anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence meaningful. Did you learn something else?
