    Thank you for describing why your anecdote is an outlier and DEFINITELY doesn’t prove any norm.

    Where did I say it was the norm??? You called someone a liar for giving an anecdote. Outliers do happen…

      They’re a liar for attempting to use an anecdote to disprove a trend. That’s basic, basic manipulation tactics. Manipulation is wrong, misleading, and arguably lying when misusing data.

        They never said anything about a trend. They said not all teachers are poor. That doesn’t mean they were disagreeing that teachers tend to be underpaid.

          Context matters. The only reason to bring it up after the trend has been correctly stated is to try and gaslight people about how real the trend is.

          Stop being willfully dense. It’s beyond pathetic.

            Or to point out something that is true and important to recognize. Average trend doesn’t mean everyone.

            Stop being willfully dense. It’s beyond pathetic.

            Stop being so quick to see others as villains, its childish.

              You keep digging that hole. I do not think you understand what position you’re in. Genuinely, pathetic. You’re not even the one that made the original gaslighting comment, yet here you are… defending gaslighting. Sad.
