Let me just summarize the parent for you.
1. Generalized statements about a population without any studies indicating a statistical or causal relationship to back them up.
2. Anecdotal example of a one scenario that backs up his generalized statement without any studies cited that provide a statistical or causal relationship to back it up.
3. Expression of an opinion as a fact followed by a combined statement of opinion as fact followed by another generalized statement without any study cited to back it up.
Now my opinion.
I think that if we are going to have a debate on the benefits of a particular point of view, we should be sure that we express the WHY and HOW of our opinions by providing a cited source of actual research that follows the scientific method for determining results.
Gut reactions to anecdotal examples does not a well-informed opinion make.
Insightful, my ass.
