yeah, I don’t try to overstate the evidence. but it was the rare case where me being here provided evidence, so it was worth to give it. . I assume you already have access to information about the people who read posts in LW in real time. and people who read old good posts (and then mostly don’t comment, because everyone moved on) and encounter site news randomly and with half a year of delay, are less visible by nature. so i expect people who don’t do that to underestimate out number :-)
(also, in the comments to Said-was-banned post there was a person who didn’t read all the post and assume everyone else didn’t, too. so maybe I’m over-correcting for typical mind fallacy here. at least, it definitely encouraged my to write this comment.)
