What is Survivor Bias?
In: 1017
“I don’t understand why kids these days need to be in these fancy car seats every minute they’re in the car. We didn’t have any of that stuff and we were fine.”
Yes, those of you who survived to adulthood and can now rant against improved safety measures are fine. However, all those of your generation who died in car accidents aren’t around to tell their story, so the information presented is inherently biased.
The best response to such logic is “yes, you survived. But *fewer* of you survived”
