I think you’re exhibiting confirmation bias. All your thoughts are pointed in one direction. You have not attempted to think of reasons why psychosis might be underreported in this community.
If someone says “I think phenomenon X is due to A” and someone responds “I think it’s also due to B, here’s why” I really don’t think it’s evidence of confirmation bias for them not to have written about A in their reply. It’s a comment making a case for B, not an essay that sets out to comprehensively analyze the question.
I agree with you that my comment at the end was excessively combative.
If you just thought of a reason for B, and you wanted to add that, that’s one thing, but my impression is that mako is thinking of reasons for B, and that’s why there’s a list.
It’s directed thinking. An insight that favors one side is one thing, but this is directed thinking.
That can still be productive in a conversation, but it is a basic and bad bias.
I actually don’t think we’d have those reporting biases.
Though I think that might be trivially true; if someone is part of a community, they’re not going to be able or willing to hide their psychosis diagnosis from it. If someone felt a need to hide something like that from a community, they would not really be part of that community.

This is ironic.
