    I really appreciate your pointing that out. He went into the “experiment” with completely wrong assumptions and never acknowledged that he was wrong. The valuable lessons that he could point out to people about why reversing living outdoors are completely absent.

    It’s the sort of scenario where my brother said he wouldn’t give money to a panhandler cause they can get a job at McDonalds only for me to point out that McD’s likely wouldn’t hire someone who hasn’t bathed in a week and has no permanent address and they wouldn’t get paid for at least two weeks so now how does he buy a meal when he hasn’t panhandled all day. My brother had no retort.

      Yep, it’s not an experiment at all if those conducting it aren’t prepared to accept the results.

      It’s just a biased pursuit of confirmation.
