          … you did read the thing about epochal statistics right? I think we’ve been over this already, you can’t really be arguing statistical literalism about martin luther king.

            Was he popular during his time? Sounds like you are doing historical revisionism.

              A third response is still valid, though. That concept is the cornerstone of everything from data science to regular science. Removing something as sensitive as a poll from it’s context is to remove all meaning from it, but again, he was indeed hugely popular. Even the gallup polls at the time support this. I’m really lost as to what you’re getting at.

                  Again, yes? I’m not sure how embedding the image changes it’s meaning, but I’m still quite curious as to what your point is.

                    You know what it is, you just don’t have a response so you’re playing dumb.
