So here is another example of not understanding the basics of statistics.
The statement was 'more likely to fire than give a raise'. This does not mean that these are the only two options available. 'More likely' just means the chance is higher overall, whether it's 99% likely to fire or 2% likely to fire.
It's also not what was said - it wasn't "chatting led to a concern", it was "self-reported, self-selecting study says X". That stuff really is a red flag to folks who have a decent grounding in statistics.
It's a fairly reliable signal that once you start to use words like "mansplaining" you're well past having a useful point to make in a reasonable discussion.
Can you point out where Colin indicated (clearly too subtly for me) that his repeated comments on this subject were a joke and should not be taken seriously.
Once you do that, I'll try and explain (mansplain if necessary) how a play of 2 lines and 1 act is probably not a very serious response.
