And what if I told you that I studied statistics at university (my UG is in economic history) and that your cognitive bias about the statistics knowledge of people you don't know isn't interesting to anyone but you.
If you read more closely (perhaps spend less time reading statistics textbooks, and more time working on your comprehension), you will also notice that I mentioned specifically that there has been no noticeable change in frequency over the time that I lived here.
You may think you are an expert on stats and cognitive biases of people you have never met...are you also an expert on the local weather conditions of central Scotland? My guy, no-one asked, next time you are thinking about doing this, stop. Write it down in your feelings journal, your views are significantly less interesting than you think.
