> The places I've used "prove" are in totally different contexts that the context in which you pretended I was claiming some proof.
I'm pointing at the specific sentence that has the word prove in it, and using the word prove to mean the same thing. If you think it's a different context you don't understand what I'm saying.
> if there is a 25% effect, what does observing the same rate means
I dunno man you were the one claiming the lesbian rate is not actually the same, that was the biggest reason for the concession, you can't now rugpull me and tell me to explain the concession without the reason for it.
And that's also why I don't need to justify the specific number. The specific number is based on whatever the statistics say.
> If my impression is correct, it means that instead of looking at the arguments first and reaching the conclusion based on the arguments, you start with the conclusion that you prefer, and build arguments in order to defend this conclusion.
I didn't even make the initial argument. I'm going completely based on the evidence cited above. This is not about what I want to believe. I would have guessed something very different. So your instinctual preference assumption is deeply misplaced.
