Would you mind to explain? I don't get it. Too much reading, not enough gifs.

This is why I stop posting half the time.

On a different board (not league) someone made an anecdotal argument and extrapolated a general rule. I pointed out an anecdotal argument as a counter example (thus nullifying the general).

The first guy accused me of lying, and I pointed out his anecdotal argument wasn't evidence and I provided a counter example.

A third party replied "My anecdotal evidence is better than your anecdotal evidence."

I attempted to explain that a counter example is a disproof which requires only one instance, but he attempted to make a full rule from his personal experience.

In came the ad hom. I started to try and explain logic, deleted what I wrote, and said fuck it.

People just are not worth the effort.

Usually math isn't provided with step by step explanations and such. So it would require fact checking to be sure they aren't just fenagling the numbers. And aint nobody got time for that.

I added a post with statistical estimates of the impact of first turret on the probability of winning. I think it got 20 views... I thought about doing the same for first blood but I felt demotivated.
